TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPE Twentieth Century Europe, A Brief History is a concise, affordable text in one volume. Though mainly political in focus, the narrative is enriched by thoughtful descriptions of major artistic movements--introducing readers to important figures in literature, visual arts, music--and the emergence and growth of popular culture in its many forms.  Other features include twenty-six photographs, some appearing for the first time in print, original maps, charts, annotated lists of books and films at the end of each chapter, and two appendices, one on additional sources for European history--including mention of helpful CD-Roms, videotapes, and web sites--and the other providing a handy reference to abbreviations and acronyms.
