Customer Reviews

An excellent reference for eastern European history.

I have long been interested in finding a thorough yet broad source of eastern European history, and this book finally granted my wishes! Crampton has organized the book beautifully and sensibly into five time periods in the twentieth century, and in each section he devotes attention to individual countries. This book also contains a section on eastern Europe before the twentieth century, maps, and abbreviations of various organizations. Any serious student of eastern European history OR curious novice would benefit from taking a look at this book!
