Review
"A shrewd observer of Germany and eastern Europe, Pond has presented an informative overview of European
affairs since 1989. . . . an eminently readable account."
--Foreign Affairs
"A detailed and relentless focus for students of international relations who want to debate whether Europe
is darkening, or brightening."
--Christian Science Monitor
"Veteran journalist Elizabeth Pond . . . sees a Europe that is doing well at overcoming 'impulses of nationalism,
habit, and fear.' The Rebirth of Europe provides a thoughtful, fundamentally optimistic appraisal of the continent's
prospects."
