This book begins with a thought provoking examination of the development of Europe during the last several centuries, with an emphasis on how nations have evolved into what they are today. The author explores the landscape of the 18th century, explaining that it is the key to understanding so much of current society and politics. By looking at the profound changes that occurred in the realms of government, industry, science, and the arts during that period, the author offers a new perspective on our present moment. Ideas, institutions, and customs that we take for granted can be traced to their origins in the 18th century. The book then guides the reader through the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, times of intense and far -reaching upheaval that would forever alter the course of history. Much of the last 200 years can be understood as an attempt to grapple with the profound changes that occurred during these decades. This history of modern Europe is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the present moment.
