Description
Brendan Simms’s formidable, game-changing history of EuropeIn this marvelously ambitious and exciting book, Brendan Simms tells the story of Europe’s constantly shifting geopolitics and the peculiar circumstances that have made it both so impossible to dominate, but also so dynamic and ferocious. It is the story of a group of highly competitive and mutually suspicious dynasties, but also of a continent uniquely prone to interference from ‘semi-detached’ elements, such as Russia, the Ottoman Empire, Britain and (just as centrally to Simms’s argument) the United States.

Brendan Simms is a historian of unusual range and ability … this book is driven by two great master-ideas, and there is hardly a page in it where their presence is not felt … the reader always has the exhilarating sense of moving swiftly onwards, in a kind of turbocharged Rolls-Royce of historical argumentation … truly powerful and original | |
| Other text | Ought to sit on the desk of every politician, pundit and policy wonk … [Simms] marshals the great events … with a breath-stopping assurance. Panoramic, multi-faceted … sweeping, well-paced narrative … awesome command. This is top-down European history, diplomatic and political, seen from the soaring eagle's eye. But what an eagle; and what an eye |
