...EACH tableau represents a turning point in the history of Europe?and of the world. Contrary to Carlyle's bright hopes, a united and powerful Germany proved neither noble nor patient. Twice Bismarck's heirs burst across their borders in cataclysmic wars that ended with two new superpowers, the U.S. and the Soviet Union, facing each other across a divided continent?a division dramatically symbolized by the hideous masonry of the Berlin Wall. A quarter of a century after the end of World War II, no European peace treaty has been written, and, in a very real sense, the results...
