History Derailed: Central and Eastern Europe in the Long Nineteenth Century

Iván T. Berend

4.9/5 (20361 ratings)

Description:There is probably no greater authority on the modern history of central and eastern Europe than Ivan Berend, whose previous work, "Decades of Crisis, "was hailed by critics as "masterful" and "the broadest synthesis of the modern social, economic, and cultural history of the region that we possess." Now, having brought together and illuminated this region's storm-tossed history in the twentieth century, Berend turns his attention to the equally turbulent period that preceded it. The "long" nineteenth century, extending up to World War I, contained the seeds of developments and crises that continue to haunt the region today. The book begins with an overview of the main historical trends in the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries, during which time the region lost momentum and became the periphery, no longer in step with the rising West. It concludes with an account of the persisting authoritarian political structures and the failed modernization that paved the way for social and political revolts. The origins of twentieth-century extremism and its tragedies are plainly visible in this penetrating account.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
