In Civilization and Barbarity in 20th-Century Europe eminent historian Gabriel Jackson deals with the political and cultural history of Europe during the past hundred years. It is not, however, a mere chronological survey concentrating on political and economic developments. Rather, the major aspects of those developments, and of international relations - both peaceful and warlike - are seen as the necessary background for the consideration of European culture, values, practical expectations, and the lifestyles available to, or imposed upon, the population as a whole.. "In his discussion of its art, politics, and science, Jackson conveys the current significance, and the possible future, of a democratic and pluralistic Europe. Clarity of exposition makes the book ideal not only for scholars but for the lay reader as well.
Gabriel Jackson was an American Hispanist, historian and journalist. He was born in Mount Vernon, New York, in 1921. After his retirement he lived in Barcelona, Spain.
