To Hell and Back: Europe, 1914-1949 by Ian Kershaw
4.0
Despite my on and off reading of this book, I really enjoyed it. Kershaw makes a topic that most people know quite a bit about already and still makes it relevant. While most histories of Europe at this tend to fall in to histories of the biggest countries (Britain, France, Germany, and Russia), Kershaw covers just about every country in Europe at the time, and not just to mention them being overrun by the Nazis.
The history of Europe in the first half of the 20th Century may seem like a history of wars, it was far more than that. I can't say though that from reading this book, I would have liked to have lived in any country of Europe at this time with the possible exception of Switzerland.
