Europe's Uncertain Path is an introduction to Europe's turbulent history from 1814 to 1914. It presents a clear narrative of the major political events, set against the backdrop of social, economic, and cultural change. Alexander offers balanced coverage of Eastern, Western, and Central Europe. He explains the causes and outcomes of major events: the effect of the emergence of mass politics; the evolution of political ideologies; the link between foreign and domestic policy; and the breakdown of the states system. The emphasis throughout is on the relation between state formation and growth in civil society, and the differences and similarities of this experience across countries. Enhanced by illustrations, maps, and figures, Europe's Uncertain Path provides a thorough background for anyone interested in modern European history.

Rezensionen
"Still, this efficient and useful survey reminds scholars that we should indeed continue to re-evaluate how we tell the story of the modern European world and its making." (European History Quarterly, 1 April 2015)

"His book offers a good introductory survey for first-year undergraduates, with a clear, relatively comprehensive, political narrative. This will provide students with a platform for more advanced studies and/or reading." (Journal of European Studies, 14 November 2012)
