A useful, important book that reminds us, at the right time,

to avoid the terrible old temptations. --Los Angeles Times
Dark Continent provides an alternative history of the twentieth
century, one in which the triumph of democracy was anything but a
forgone conclusion and fascism and communism provided rival
political solutions that battled and sometimes triumphed in an
effort to determine the course the continent would take.
Mark Mazower strips away myths that have comforted us since World
War II, revealing Europe as an entity constantly engaged in a
bloody project of self-invention. Here is a history not of
inevitable victories and forward marches, but of narrow squeaks and
unexpected twists, where townships boast a bronze of Mussolini on
horseback one moment, only to melt it down and recast it as a pair
of noble partisans the next. Unflinching, intelligent, Dark
Continent provides a provocative vision of Europ''s past, present,
and future-and confirms Mark Mazower as a historian of valuable
gifts.
