The Persistence of the Old Regime : Europe to the Great War, Paperback / softback Book

The Persistence of the Old Regime : Europe to the Great War Paperback / softback

Part of the Verso World History series

Paperback / softback

Description

In this classic work which analyzes the context in which thirty years of war and revolution wracked the European continent, the great historian Arno Mayer emphasizes the backwardness of the European economies and their political subjugation by aristocratic elites and their allies.

Mayer turns upside down the vision of societies marked by modernization and forward-thrusting bourgeois and popular social classes, thereby transforming our understanding of the traumatic crises of the early twentieth century.
