The History of Europe from the post-war years to the present is the subject of Ian Kershaw's work, one of Britain's most recognized historians. This particular study examines the period from 1950 to 2017, a time during which Europe experienced peace and relative prosperity, while the shadow of the previous world wars remained present.

The author analyzes the divided Europe that was under the threat of nuclear weapons during the Cold War. This era is characterized by economic improvements and major developments, such as the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the reunification of Germany. However, the acceleration of globalization created new uncertainties and challenges, which came to the forefront after the economic crisis of 2008.

Through examples from all over Europe, Kershaw invites us to re-evaluate the concept of Europe and European identity. This book is an important source of knowledge and analysis for the history of the contemporary European space.
