Not for the faint-hearted... (6/8 people found this helpful)
This is an incredibly detailed account of the development of Europe since 1870. In his book, Joll skips from one country to another in the space of a few lines, making detailed comparisons along the way. However, this can make the text hard to follow and it is certainly not a book for the faint-hearted - long, complex sentence after long, complex sentence does not make for a light read! Nevertheless, as a reference work this comes highly recommended.
