A History of Modern Europe: From the French Revolution to the Present

Rating:
Summary: Good overall
Review: This was a good attempt at trying to write a text book on such a large span of time. However, in the process some topics were glazed over. An example of this would be Merriman's treatment of the first World War where the battles of Dieppe and Vimy Ridge were not mentioned. There was also a definite American slant in the treatment of the same topic. For example, the role of Canada in the war was ignored. Instead the role of the United States in the war was highlighted.
