{"product_id":"dark-continent-europes-twentieth-century","title":"Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Century","description":"An unflinching and intelligent alternative history of the twentieth century that provides a provocative vision of Europe's past, present, and future.\n\n\"[A] splendid book.\" —The New York Times Book Review\n\nDark Continent provides an alternative history of the twentieth century, one in which the triumph of democracy was anything but a forgone conclusion and fascism and communism provided rival political solutions that battled and sometimes triumphed in an effort to determine the course the continent would take.\n\nMark Mazower strips away myths that have comforted us since World War II, revealing Europe as an entity constantly engaged in a bloody project of self-invention. Here is a history not of inevitable victories and forward marches, but of narrow squeaks and unexpected twists, where townships boast a bronze of Mussolini on horseback one moment, only to melt it down and recast it as a pair of noble partisans the next.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 067975704X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.067975704X.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mark Mazower\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
