Bill's Review 
I lived through through the Postwar Years but never understood what was happening to the extent this book shows. It's a huge book (830 pages) but reads like a novel. I'll keep it forever as a reference, and loan it out whenever possible. It's a great value.

One of the best books I ever read 
This is a marvellous book, so nice and easy to read. The author's account of the end of the Soviet Era in the East Countries is very, very interesting. Also excellent are the insights of the events of the 50' and 60', of which I do not remember, since I was a kid. This is a book that teaches you for live, and makes you think and reflect so much aboout the present. It is a "must read" for all interested in Europe and the evolution of the Western World.

A masterpeace on European history 
Having grown behind the Iron Curtain, I lack a lot of knowledge about European history - not knowledge of the facts, which can be found in every history textbook, but knowledge of bigger picture, of the reasons of some events and of the feelings some events created. This book helped me a lot to overcome this want and I would advise it to anyone who wishes to improve one's knowledge of European history.

Anti-Jewish Author beware Christians and Jews! 
Like another reviewer has mentioned this man, professor at the university of New York is an outspoken denier of the right of Israel to exist as a nation. Read Caroline Glick's latest book for more info. Christians, Jews, don't buy into this man's propaganda.
