The wars, revolutions, and social tragedies of our time have masked with a fog of conflict and confusion the solid achievements of European civilization, and the fundamental values that underlie its formidable impact upon the rest of the world. This masterly picture of the forces that unify European society, political institutions, and culture lays its stress upon the evolution of the great cosmopolitan and humanist traditions of Europe. The genius of Hellas, the Roman peace, mediaeval Christendom, the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration, the Reformation and the painful growth of the nation-state, the Industrial and Liberal Revolutions are among the aspects of European history that Professor Bowle considers before he turns to the chequered and disputed course of the twentieth century. In his introduction he writes : "Contemporary scholarship transcends the strident provincialism of racial, nationalist, and class propaganda ; it takes account of the contribution of all the European peoples to a common historical evolution against a favourable geographical background, reflected in remarkable enterprise and variety."
