I think this is one of the must reads for anyone who wishes to be properly informed on 20th Century European political/intellectual history. It outlines that the 20th century was a battle between democracy, fascism, and communism, and democracy won. A bit reductionist but a well-written, enjoyable history that stays with you (I've read it twice now). .
