Dark Continent de Mark Mazower
Reseña de Josh80/100Leído el 1 de julio de 2005
Nice explanation of why the "triumph of democracy" wasn’t as inevitable as it now appears, and why fascism was so appealing in the 20s and 30s.
Dark Continent is a searching history of Europe's most brutal century. Stripping away the comforting myths and illusions that we have grown up with since the Second World War, Mark Mazower presents an unflinching account of a continent locked in a finely balanced struggle between tolerance and racial extermination, imperial ambition and national self-determination, liberty and the tyrannies of Right and Left. It is an attempt to trace the origins of "Western values" - the ideological terms we now live by - and to ask what remains of the struggles of previous generations.
