Below I have posted the books/text you will need to start your path to untold glory. These are slightly different each year so do not simply purchase books from those that took the class – check this list first. Also some can be found for free online.

Text Book:  Merriman, John. A History of Modern Europe: From Renaissance to the Present. 4th ed. 

Make sure it is the 4th edition as our units coincide with the page numbers and chapters (assigned reading can be confusing if it is not this edition). Also there is an online version which which some students stated was more helpful than the actual text. Although I like to write in the book, but go with what suites your style.

Term 1

Machiavelli. The Prince. 

(I would recommend the Dover edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)

Term 2

Darnton, Robert. The Great Cat Massacre and Other Episodes in French Cultural History. New York: Vintage Books, 1985. Print.

Voltaire. Candide.

( I would recommend the Hackett Publishing edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)

Term 3

Marx and Engels. Communist Manifesto.

( I would recommend the Penguin Classics edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)

Term 3

Remarque. All Quiet on the Western Front.

( I would recommend the Penguin Publishing edition but there are plenty of good editions both online and in paperback. I find it easier to annotate with a book but choice is yours)
