Detalles del libro

"Like Eric Hobsbawm's masterful histories of economic, social, and cultural change in Europe, Berend's book covers a vast variety of changes, and convincingly shows that they were all related."-Daniel Chirot, author of Modern Tyrants

"A dozen fermenting societies floundering through choppy times are brilliantly brought together in Ivan Berend's informed, lucid and readable account of Central and Eastern Europe before World War II. Berend has achieved a splendid synthesis not to be missed by specialists, yet accessible to the general reader."-Eugen Weber, University of California, Los Angeles

"Berend's work will find an eager audience of European historians, specialists in Central and Eastern Europe, and educated readers among the general population."-David F. Good, author of The Economic Rise of the Habsburg Empire, 1750-1914

"Ivan Berend reminds us in his masterful history of Central and Eastern Europe that in order to understand the present state of this region, we must understand its past, particularly the oft-neglected years between the two world wars. . . . Berend skillfully weaves economics, politics, and culture together in telling his story of this region in the years between the two world wars. . . the best account now available of these turbulent years in the history of Eastern and Central Europe." (Virginia Quarterly Review)

"Berend identifies the influences behind the political misadventure of central and Eastern Europe during the interwar period. His range of analysis is immense, from economic history ot visual arts and music to ethnic conflict." (Foreign Affairs)

"Berend's book is the broadest synthesis of the modern social, economic, and cultural history of the region that we possess, probably in any language. Much of the narrative is masterful, and of an unparalleled richness, both in fact and insight. This work displays well the broad erudition of its author." (John Connelly, Journal of Economic History )
