Twentieth-Century Europe: Paths to Unity

Twentieth-Century Europe (1979) traces the development of European unity from the early vision, inspired by the cataclysm of the First World War, to the institutions and the framework of the European Community. Throughout, the aim is to show how the idea and purpose of unity survived amid the turmoil of European politics and pointed the way to the creation of institutions which would allow European states to confront their problems together.
