Recommendation
This concise, well-written discussion of the new Europe is a useful introduction to the history of the European Union. Perhaps in the interest of readability, former Washington Post London bureau chief T.R. Reid portrays the E.U. as a threat to the United States and permits himself the luxury of somewhat breathless speculation. However, this sort of thing is a negligible flaw in a book so clearly aimed at a popular reading audience. To Reid’s credit, he makes the evolution of the Common Market, the creation of the euro, and contemporary Europe’s various political and economic struggles both readable and interesting. getAbstract recommends this book to managers of U.S. companies that have European offices and to anyone interested in contemporary international relations.
