Europe Between the Wars

by Kitchen Martin

It had seemed 'the war to end wars', yet within twenty-one years the unthinkable had become the inevitable and Europe was burning again. How did it happen? In this sober yet compelling account of Europe between the wars, Martin Kitchen traces the course of the deepening crisis in Europe by looking first at the peace settlement itself, and then at the economic and social problems of the interwar years.

Reviews

[Jon Shaw]

Kitchen is kind of a pain in the ass to read, but he tells you exactly where he stands, and how he feels. I picture him as a short, round, balding man, with a huge white beard and thick glasses. And he's old enough to not give a fuck.

[Dave Carlson]

Very dense, lots of great information, a few obvious mistakes. Overall a very worthwhile read, but hard to follow at times as he jumps back and forth in time.

[Lesley]

A tedious read but good. Just make sure you have ample background information as this test assumes you know a lot.
