Here is an excellent introductory text to the major events of European history from 1815 to 2000, complemented with over 50 two-colour maps. The new material takes us from 1980 to 2000 and covers a range of issues from population growth to the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. The highly successful McEvedy formula of succinct, readable text combined with (completely new) maps for each spread is followed here.
