Europe: The Struggle for Supremacy, 1453 to the Present: A History of the Continent Since 1500

This book of 690 pages offers a major re-interpretation of the last 500 years of European History. It reworks the traditional geopolitical view based on the centrality of Germany, by showing how that cannot be separated from the transatlantic dimension represented by Britain and the United States – both their power and their constitutional approaches. The book is based on an extremely wide range of both primary and secondary printed sources in three languages, taking into account extensive archival research over the last decade. It synthesises developments inside European states, such as revolution and democratisation, with their international relations.
