    Book Jacket: 
    "A brilliantly integrated and thought-provoking account of European civilization from 1900 to 1970 by the author of The Origins of Socialism. Political and economic affairs, and the two great wars of the century, occupy a central place. But hardly less important are the changes in intellectual and artistic awareness which were both cause and consequence of the decay of the traditional bourgeois-liberal culture of 1914. In documenting the changes in the quality of life, the rise of technocratic forms of government, the slow dissolution of liberalism, and the emergence of new forms of religious, philosophical and artistic consciousness, George Lichtheim reveals the importance of developments common to European civilization as a whole. In effect what he is charting is the destruction in the three decades after 1914 of the common European cultural inheritance of the late nineteenth century. He also takes a hard nosed look at Europe's future seeing the necessity for Europe's closer relationship with the United States but also understanding the divergent intellectual and cultural forces that would keep them apart."--BOOK JACKET.
