I reviewed Roderick Beaton's new history of Europe for @historytoday.com, a brisk and incredibly readable romp through millennia of European history and identity. But how new can a new history of Europe really be? And how new does it need to be? www.historytoday.com/archive/revi...

A great review of Central Europe in this week's WSJ: 'Our image of the Continent in the years before 1914 tends to emphasize Central Europe, especially Vienna, as a crossroads of high culture... but Mr. Jukic broadens the picture.' www.wsj.com/arts-culture...

The beauty of Rome is that it’s a modern city on top of a fascist city built on top of a romantic nationalist Italian city built on top of a Papal city built on top of a Roman city and no matter where you are, none of these layers is ever far away
