Dark Continent by Mark Mazower
Europe's Twentieth Century
A sweeping reinterpretation of twentieth-century Europe that argues the continent’s modern trajectory was shaped less by the inevitable triumph of liberal democracy than by mass politics, violence, and authoritarian tendencies; it traces how war, ideological struggles, collaboration and resistance, and pragmatic state-building in the interwar and postwar eras produced welfare systems, centralized bureaucracies, and European integration while leaving deep continuities of coercion, exclusion, and contested sovereignty.
