A review by seventhswan
To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914-1949 by Ian Kershaw

3.0

Does exactly what it says on the tin, honestly - this book is a detailed and dense account of European history and can't be faulted for the quality or quantity of the research. Took me a long time to get through, not because it wasn't interesting, but because of how much detail was packed in and how much of that detail was unpleasant to hear about.

Now I feel petty for rating a book 3* for doing exactly what it set out to do, but I just didn't get much from it for the amount of words.
