It is an up-to-date and lively account of a critical period of European history when the old world collapsed, the dictators offered seemingly exciting alternatives, and democracies were put to the supreme test.\nWritten for undergraduate students studying 20th century European history, this new edition of a classic will challenge and provoke a deeper understanding of the interwar years. \n\n\nReview\n\n\n'Professor Kitchen is altogether a shrewd, clear, balanced and often witty guide.'\nThe Times Educational Supplement\n \n'This is a splendid up-to-date overview of the political, international and economic history of Europe between the wars.

It spawned Soviet Communism, Fascism and Nazism, strained democracies to the limit and contributed to the collapse of the world economy. The unthinkable became inevitable and a mere twenty-one years after “the war to end all wars”, Europewas once again in flames.\n \nHow did this happen? Martin Kitchen’s compelling account of Europe between the wars sets the twenty-year crisis within the context of the profound sense of cultural malaise shared by many philosophers and artists, the economic crises that plagued a Europe ruined by war and the social upheavals caused by widespread unemployment and grinding poverty amid a noticeable improvement of living standards. \n \nThis thoroughly revised edition, with completely new sections on intellectual, cultural and social history is richly illustrated with contemporary photographs.
