This article focuses on the book "European Civilization and Politics Since 1815," by Erik Achorn. This is a book on modern history. The students who read his pages will undoubtedly learn what to think about the men and the movements which have shaped modern history, but it is less certain that they will learn how to think about them. They will find it easy to share his contempt for the Allied "brass hats" who directed what Lloyd George called a "bloodstained stagger to victory," and they will imbibe his scorn for the architects of ruin who devised the grimmer jests of the Versailles settlement and for the opportunists who climbed aboard the band-wagon of Italian fascism.
