Selected and edited by G. A. Kertesz, this anthology assembles treaties, declarations, speeches, constitutional texts, and diplomatic correspondence that shaped the modern European order — placing the reader directly in the chambers where history was forged, from the Congress of Vienna to the catastrophic failures of appeasement in the late 1930s.\n\nKertesz's editorial approach is both scholarly and accessible, providing authoritative context that illuminates the ideological currents — nationalism, liberalism, imperialism, fascism, and communism — that competed for the soul of Europe during this defining era. The selection is remarkable in its geographic and thematic breadth, drawing from across the continent to illustrate how individual acts of statecraft rippled into world-historical consequence. For students, historians, and politically curious readers alike, this indispensable reference volume asks a quietly unsettling question: knowing what these documents set in motion, how differently might we read their words today?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948304961755,"sku":"2026100012422-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/1325672e-b0b9-4fd4-84a6-558331daa731.png?v=1793104242","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012422-secondhand-documents-in-the-political-history-of-the-european-continent-1815-1939","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
