Only 38 pages in, and I’m hooked. (And absolutely do not sense the origins of modern conflicts within these pages…/s)
Upcoming course is “The Global War” and I’m thrilled to be learning more about the ‘fringes’ of WWII. (Aka, what isn’t taught in US schools)

Neuerscheinung: "Das gelebte Europa!" Ich freue mich übermäßig, dass dieses von Florian Greiner und mir herausgegebene Themenheft heute erschienen ist - mit fünf großartigen Beiträgen, von Abolitionskampagnen über Wein und Versicherungen bis hin zu faschistischen Netzwerken und Siedlerkolonien...
Das Projekt Europa begann nicht erst mit der EU – es wurde seit dem 19. Jh. gelebt, erdacht und bestritten. Das neue Themenheft von Geschichte und Gesellschaft erkundet, wie es sich in Alltag und Praxis, Politik, Wirtschaft und Kultur formte.
