Whether victorious or not, Central European states faced fundamental challenges after the First World War as they struggled to contain ongoing violence and forge peaceful societies. This collection explores the various forms of violence these nations confronted during this period, which effectively transformed the region into a laboratory for state-building. Employing a bottom-up approach to understanding everyday life, these studies trace the contours of individual and mass violence in the interwar era while illuminating their effects upon politics, intellectual developments, and the arts.
This history will endure; not only because Sir Winston has written it, but also because of its own inherent virtues - its narrative power, its fine judgment of war and politics, of soldiers and statesmen, and even more because it reflects a tradition of what Englishmen in the hey-day of their empire thought and felt about their country's past. The Daily Telegraph
Spanning four volumes and many centuries of history, from Caesar's invasion of Britain to the start of World War I, A History of the English-Speaking Peoples stands as one of Winston Churchill's most magnificent literary works. Begun during Churchill's 'wilderness years' when he was out of government, first published in 1956 after his leadership through the darkest days of World War II had cemented his place in history and completed when Churchill was in his 80s, it remains to this day a compelling and vivid history. In The Age of Revolution - the third volume of Churchill's history - Churchill charts the rise of Great Britain as a world power and the long rivalry with France, the shadow of the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and his defeat at Waterloo. The volume also covers the rise of the American colonies, their triumphant overthrow of British rule in the War of Independence and the first great generation of American leaders: Washington, Adams and Jefferson.

Genocide in the Carpathians presents the history of Subcarpathian Rus', a multiethnic and multireligious borderland in the heart of Europe. This society of Carpatho-Ruthenians, Jews, Magyars, and Roma disintegrated under pressure of state building in interwar Czechoslovakia and, during World War II, from the onslaught of the Hungarian occupation. Charges of "foreignness" and disloyalty to the Hungarian state linked antisemitism to xenophobia and national security anxieties. Genocide unfolded as a Hungarian policy, and Hungarian authorities committed mass robbery, deportations, and killings against all non-Magyar groups in their efforts to recast the region as part of an ethnonational "Greater Hungary."
In considering the events that preceded the German invasion of Hungary in March 1944, this book reorients our view of the Holocaust not simply as a German drive for continent-wide genocide, but as a truly international campaign of mass murder, related to violence against non-Jews unleashed by projects of state and nation building. Focusing on both state and society, Raz Segal shows how Hungary's genocidal attack on Subcarpathian Rus' obliterated not only tens of thousands of lives but also a diverse society and way of life that today, from the vantage point of our world of nation-states, we find difficult to imagine.

Описание:
The Hungry Steppe examines one of the most heinous crimes of the Stalinist regime, the Kazakh famine of 1930–33. More than 1.5 million people perished in this famine, a quarter of Kazakhstan's population, and the crisis transformed a territory the size of continental Europe. Yet the story of this famine has remained mostly hidden from view. Drawing upon state and Communist party documents, as well as oral history and memoir accounts in Russian and in Kazakh, Sarah Cameron reveals this brutal story and its devastating consequences for Kazakh society.
Through the most violent of means the Kazakh famine created Soviet Kazakhstan, a stable territory with clearly delineated boundaries that was an integral part of the Soviet economic system; and it forged a new Kazakh national identity. But this state-driven modernization project was uneven. Ultimately, Cameron finds, neither Kazakhstan nor Kazakhs themselves were integrated into the Soviet system in precisely the ways that Moscow had originally hoped. The experience of the famine scarred the republic for the remainder of the Soviet era and shaped its transformation into an independent nation in 1991.
Cameron uses her history of the Kazakh famine to overturn several assumptions about violence, modernization, and nation-making under Stalin, highlighting, in particular, the creation of a new Kazakh national identity, and how environmental factors shaped Soviet development. Ultimately, The Hungry Steppe depicts the Soviet regime and its disastrous policies in a new and unusual light.

Unsurpassed in scope, depth of analysis, and objectivity, Return to Diversity continues to be an invaluable resource for both professors and students of this region's vivid political history.

Описание: The Duchy of Warsaw, 1807-1815 is the first academic history of the state established by Napoleon in pre-partitioned Poland at the turn of the 19th century. The book examines the political, social and cultural dynamics of the Duchy and considers its role in Napoleon's wider empire and the politics he engaged in across the European continent during the period. Czubaty explores the history of the Duchy to reveal how political and social ideas, systems and mechanisms from France, Italy and Germany began permeating Central Eastern Europe at this time and goes on to consider how this impacted on the changing political mentalities of the Polish people.
Описание: Die Adelsforschung der zur ckliegenden Jahrzehnte hat vor allem die beeindruckende Selbstbehauptung des deutschen Adels im 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhundert herausgearbeitet. Trotz erfolgreicher Statusverteidigung kann letztlich jedoch kein Zweifel daran bestehen, dass der langfristige Machtverlust des Adels in seiner Gesamtheit, des Adels als Stand, seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts unvermeidbar war. Seine Geschichte im Verlauf des s kularen Modernisierungsprozesses muss deshalb, trotz aller Selbstbehauptung, am Ende doch als die Geschichte eines langen, immer wieder stark gebremsten, mehrfach unterbrochenen und abgelenkten Abstiegs beschrieben werden - ein langer Abschied von Macht und Ehre. Dieser spannungsvolle Befund verlangt, das Deutungs- und Darstellungsmodell der u erst folgenreichen Geschichte einer Selbstbehauptung des Adels korrigierender Kritik zu unterziehen. Das Bem hen, eine "wirkliche Aristokratie" im Sinne Max Webers zu bilden, ist in vielen Handlungsfeldern, in denen sich Adlige und B rgerliche begegneten, erkennbar. Aber es scheint so, dass es im 19. und fr hen 20. Jahrhundert in fast allen seinen Anl ufen gescheitert ist. Es fragt sich, was die Gr nde dieses Scheiterns waren. Bedeutungsverlust und Beharrungserfolg des deutschen Adels im Wandel des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts sind in der bisherigen Forschung ganz berwiegend mit dualen, linearen Mustern der Klassenkonkurrenz erkl rt worden. Das Publikationsprojekt "Elitenwandel in der Moderne" zielt darauf, Studien zu ver ffentlichen, die Korrekturen zu dieser Perspektive erarbeitet haben. Pressestimmen: "In den letzten Jahren sind zahlreiche eindrucksvolle empirische Studien zur Adelsgeschichte entstanden, die z.T. von Heinz Reif direkt angeregt, unterst tzt und begleitet unser Bild vom 'Adel' erheblich differenziert, relativiert und korrigiert haben." Charlotte Tacke in: Neue Politische Literatur, Jg. 52 (2007)
