This collection of essays by Australian, New Zealand and international historians comes from the XVth Biennial Conference of the Australasian Association of European History, held at the University of Melbourne, Australia, in July 2005.

The essays present current research on a number of major themes: state-sanctioned terror and total war in twentieth-century Europe; famine, mass-killing and genocide; as well as cultural and political histories, and the place of Europe in world history.

Covering the period from the late nineteenth century to the present, the studies embrace social, intellectual and political issues and concerns, including close empirical studies of specific Eastern, Central and Western European contexts and developments, but also trans-national perspectives and relationships.

The collection includes work by distinguished international and Australasian historians as well as emerging younger scholars.
