Don't Mention the Wars!

An entertaining exploration of the truth behind European stereotypes.' - The Irish Times From the bailouts to the Euro-crisis, from the rise of Frau Merkel to the dalliances of the French presidents, Connelly does a brilliant job skewering the lies and truths of European stereotypes.

In this revised and updated edition, Connelly revisits every chapter and explores the news and the rich parade of events that have happened in that time.
