About this book
Reviews
“This book presents several answers to the question why the project of European integration was initiated and took off after the Second World War. It is a most valuable publication for all who are interested in European identity, both its prerequisites and possibilities. It is invaluable for any serious consideration of the context and beginning of the European integration project in the 1950s.” (Mats Andrén, The European Legacy, Vol. 21 (5-6), April, 2016)
'The question of how to define European identity remains fiercely contested in contemporary politics and scholarship. This fascinating collection of essays explores how the lacerating experience of the Second World War impacted on thinking about the meaning of Europe, in ways that still resonate today'.- Patrick Finney, Aberystwyth University
