A devastating account of a war which raged all over Europe, with terrible and long-lasting consequences for the whole continent
Peter Wilson is the GF Grant Professor of History at the University of Hull and the author of books on Germany and on the Holy Roman Empire.
Peter Wilson is a brave man to undertake a new general survey of
one of the most long-lasting, multi-dimensional and controversial
wars of all time. It is a joy to report that, at least in this
reviewer's opinion, Europe's Tragedy succeeds brilliantly ... His
scholarship seems to me remarkable, his prose light and lovely, his
judgments fair
*Sunday Times*
An ambitious and accomplished account, abreast of modern
scholarship, has been overdue, and EUROPE'S TRAGEDY supplies it all
admirably
*Literary Review*
A wonderfully comprehensive and detailed account
*Daily Telegraph*
Magisterial ... a wise, wide-seeking account, tenaciously
researched
*The Times Literary Supplement*
A history of prodicious erudition ... a definitive account has been
needed, and now Peter Wilson has provided it
*Wall Street Journal*
