4.0 out of 5 stars A very informative well written book., 11 May 2002
By A Customer
This book proved invaluable in the study of the social history of Europe at degree level. Gildeas book gives a very informative of European history, not just from the political point of view. The study of demography, industrialisation and the development of education within Europe gives a much deeper understanding of European history, and stands out from the many books written purely about European political history.
