Available in both one-volume and two-volume paperback editions, A History of Modern Europe presents a panoramic survey of modern Europe from the Renaissance to the present day. A single author lends a unified approach and consistent style throughout, with an emphasis on the connections of events and people over time.

The Third Edition, like the two before it, is authoritative and up-to-date. New to the Third Edition is the theme of empire. From the imperial rivalries between France and Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, through the rise and fall of the Ottoman Turkish empire, and on into the imperial history of the twentieth century―decolonization, the spread of the Soviet empire, and the imperial power of the United States―the theme of empire helps students find commonalities among the events of European history.

Very informational and interesting. Many similar books end up dry, but this did not.

Excellent addition to your history of Europe. Nice quality book, easy to read and good references to check out. Have been in and out of this book, as it is one of the books you can dip into sections you require at the time. Lovely.

John Merriman is inspirational. I have read one of his later textbooks, which is better as he seems to improve his style with time, but that this did not take away from the charm of this book. As a history student I am truely appreciative of his work. Many historians do not have the gift of penmanship that Merriman holds, making the most fascinating topic a painful experience to get through. Read this for fun (as I am) and you won't regret it.

I'm confused when I see negatives on Merriman. I think he is a great writer and does a wonderful job summarizing a large portion of history to a chew-able size without damaging the subject.
