William A. Pelz

A People's History of Modern Europe

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

From the monarchical terror of the Middle Ages to the mangled Europe of the twenty-first century, Pelz tracks the history of the continent through the deeds of those whom mainstream history tries to forget. From the German peasant wars of Thomas Müntzer to the present day, A People's History of Modern Europe provides a great opportunity to see our history differently.
