Publisher's Synopsis
A companion volume to "European Unity in Context - The Interwar Period", this book evaluates the notion of European unity in a period when European identity was subjected to the destructive consequences of Nazi and Fascist domination of much of the Continent.;By counterposing the competing visions of transformation and reconstruction played out during the war years the book aims to provide broader-based and more complex insights into the forces that shaped the postwar period than those in coventional accounts that locate the thinking about European unity only in the years after 1945.
