Description

"AJP Taylor is one of the most eminent historians of our time. The essays in this selection, some of which were written as early as 1943, are both enjoyable in themselves and show the development of his thought. In them he discusses the important trends in European history from the fall of Napoleon 1 to Soviet Russia's emergence on the stage of world power after the Second World War. There are brilliant portraits of Metternich, Bismarck, Louis Napoleon, Trotsky, Hitler, Stalin, and many others. These essays demonstrate a great width of interest and AJP Taylor's judgements are always stimulating and provocative."--Provided by publisher.
