Europe 1715-1919: From Enlightenment to World WarRowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2003 M12 9 - 320 páginas Europe 1715-1919 explores the tumultuous period in European history between the Age of Enlightenment and World War I.

With clear and eloquent prose, the book explains the ideas of the Enlightenment and their effect on the social fabric of Europe, the watershed of the French Revolution, the rise and fall of Napoleon, the advances of the Industrial Revolution, and the centrifugal forces of nationalism that led, ultimately, to the disaster of World War I.
