The end of the European Era, 1890 to the present (History of modern Europe)

GILBERT, FELIX

Weidenfeld and Nicolson

Since its first publication over thirty years ago, The End of the European Era: 1890 to the Present has offered students a concise and authoritative historical narrative of the events that shaped twentieth-century Europe. The Fifth Edition retains these strengths while embracing recent developments and current research. The text covers a century of rapid and tumultuous change, from increased population and migration in the early 1900s through the ongoing unrest in the Balkans.

Born and raised in Germany, a firsthand observer of that country until Nazism emerged in the 1930s recounts his childhood, the nation's changing political regimes, and his reactions on returning to Germany years later

“Felix Gilbert. . .has incarnated the virtues of history as a vocation. Master of a variety of fields, from the Italian Renaissance through eighteenth century America to modern Europe, Professor Gilbert has contributed in each, works that stand as models of historical scholarship, rich in empirical specificity, yet resonant with a wider significance for understanding history as a whole.” ―William L. McNeill, past president of the American Historical Association, on the occasion of giving Felix Gilbert the Association’s first Award for Scholarly Distinction Felix Gilbert begins this book of memoirs by describing his peaceful and protected childhood in Germany before the First World War. That war, and the revolutionary events that followed it, strongly influenced his choice of profession; he studied history at Heidelberg, Munich, and the University of Berlin. He gives a firsthand account of the intellectually stimulating and politically restless atmosphere in 1920s Berlin. During the first six months of 1933, when the Nazi takeover occurred in Germany, Mr. Gilbert was at work in the archives in Italy. There he received letters from relations and friends in Germany; published here, these letters convey the impact of Nazism on the daily lives of these people. In other chapters of the book Mr. Gilbert, who served as a member of the OSS, vividly describes wartime London, liberated Paris, and occupied Germany. These memoirs end with an account of a mission to Berlin which, for Mr. Gilbert, was also a search for what remained of a world that once had been.

The new sixth edition of the leading text in contemporary European history is now thoroughly revised with up-to-date scholarship. Its coverage of southern and eastern Europe is expanded, as is its coverage of social history―especially women’s history. It charts the theme of globalization starting with the 1890s and moving through to post-9/11. This new edition also examines how twenty-first-century Europe has addressed issues such as immigration and migration, economic globalization, environmental degradation, and terrorism.
