In this classic work which analyzes the context in which thirty years of war and revolution wracked the European continent, the great historian Arno Mayer emphasizes the backwardness of the European economies and their political subjugation by aristocratic elites and their allies. Mayer turns upside down the vision of societies marked by modernization and forward-thrusting bourgeois and popular social classes, thereby transforming our understanding of the traumatic crises of the early twentieth century.

A seminal book - extremely challenging. The historical and political implications of the Mayer thesis will be widely discussed in years to come - certainly not only by specialists. --Carlo Ginzburg
ARNO MAYER is Professor Emeritus of European History at Princeton University. His many books include The Furies: Violence and Terror in the French and Russian Revolutions, Plowshares into Swords: From Zionism to Israel and Why Did the Heavens Not Darken? The Final Solution in History.
