'Europe provided the perfect conditions for waves of revolt from below—the radical Reformation, the political revolutions of the eighteenth century, and the rise of the organised working class. The twentieth century saw the turbulent rise and fall of the Russian Soviets, popular resistance throughout the Cold War, and the student and worker protests of 1968. A People's History of Modern Europesweeps away the tired platitudes of the privileged upon which our current understanding is based, and provides an opportunity to see history differently. Rather than being mere onlookers of the actions of the great men who stride the historical stage, William A. Pelz shows how ordinary men and women are themselves the drivers of social change.'
