David Imhoof has written a refreshing and carefully conceived conversational history of modern Europe. His engaging and humorous style will certainly appeal to students looking for an accessible introduction to this subject. * Lisa Pine, Associate Professor of History, London South Bank University, UK * Told with great panache and a wicked sense of humor, So, About Modern Europe offers a fresh consideration of a complex subject that neither panders to its audience nor blunts the sharp and dangerous edges of the Enlightenment and its legacies. * Margaret Menninger, Professor of History, Texas State University, USA * David Imhoof's conversational history of modern Europe is disarmingly lively as it casts off the conventional solemnity found in most academic books. But dont be fooled: it remains ambitious in scope and firmly anchored in historical scholarship * Greg Eghigian, Professor of History, Penn State University, USA *
