Fractured Continent Details
Fractured Continent, by William Drozdiak, examines how political and social volatility in Europe impacts the United States and the rest of the world. Selected by the Financial Times as one of the best books in politics in 2017, this is an urgent examination to Europe's crises and proposed solutions."Thoughtful and full of relevant factual material, Fractured Continent offers a penetrating analysis of the Europe of today and tomorrow."George P. Shultz, Former Secretary of State"Fascinating."Roger Cohen, New York Times"Bill Drozdiak understands the importance of Europe and its institutions in ways that are essential for Americans to pay note. In Fractured Continent he looks at the recent upheavals that we must consider on the other side of the Atlantic if we are to understand ourselves and the West's common predicament. The best part of reading Drozdiak is the rediscovery of how good a reporter he is. "Carl Bernstein, author and co-winner of the 1973 Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of the Watergate scandal"This is the best book I've read on the recent turmoil sweeping through Europe--excellent reporting, beautifully written and sensibly, carefully analyzed. Everything that I would expect from a journalist/scholar like Bill Drozdiak."Marvin Kalb, Edward R. Murrow Professor of Practice, Emeritus, Harvard Kennedy School"In Fractured Continent, William Drozdiak accomplishes the near-impossible task of boiling down all the many problems, fissures and cross-currents affecting Europe over the past few years into a concise, insightful narrative. If you can read only one book on where Europe stands today, this is definitely the one to choose." James Mann, author-in-residence, European and Eurasian Studies Program, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies"A timely, useful study of how the new reality of a 'post-Washington Europe' may revive old demons of nationalism." ---Kirkus
