Suggestions for Further Reading

The literature on Europe since the Second World War is huge—and like Europe itself—is steadily expanding. The titles listed here are but a small selection of the English-language books that I have found most interesting or helpful in the writing of
Postwar
. Wherever possible I have listed books (and editions of books) that are likely to be available for readers to consult or purchase. For the same reason I have not included primary sources except memoirs and the occasional contemporary report, nor have I listed published works in other languages.

This bibliography is arranged in three parts. The first section lists books dealing with the history of modern Europe, together with works devoted to particular countries or regions. The second section is divided into a number of general topics: the Cold War, immigration, culture and the arts, etc. In the third section I have grouped books by chapter, listing additional works to which I am indebted for information used in a particular chapter or that I found especially helpful.

This way of organizing the bibliography inevitably entails overlap. Thus readers interested in learning more about French intellectuals in the Cold War years might refer to books listed under various headings:
France; The Cold War; Europe and the USA; Intellectuals and Ideas;
as well as
Chapter VII: Culture Wars
. Similarly, readers seeking to learn more about the economic history of postwar Europe might find it helpful to look under
General Histories, Economics
or
European Union,
as well as various chapters where economic history is emphasized, notably
Chapter III, Chapter X
and
Chapter XIV
. Like
Postwar
itself, these suggestions for further reading are intended for the general reader, though I hope that students and specialists will also find them a useful guide.
