Just like with the last Essentials book about European history, this one was exactly what I was hoping for. A quick, useful guide to understand the basics of European history during the time period. After having watched some Crash Course videos about 19th century/early 20th century European history, I now feel ready to tackle Hobsbawm later this year!
