Description of Europe: Chained By History by Larry J. Hilton

A Plea for Europe to form a United States of Europe

Europe: Chained by History is a groundbreaking book that uses history to make a compelling case for Europe to form a United States of Europe–or risk seeing the European Union come apart individually.

Using the history of Vienna from its inception to 1938, readers are invited to observe Western Europe from within this ancient city.

• Where did historic rivalries among European nations begin?
• How did the Enlightenment affect Europe and the United States?
• What persistent darkness allowed Hitler to lead the word in to a second devastating world war?
• What will it take for today’s European Union to survive?

Author Larry J. Hilton explores these questions, and more, by using fascinating details about what it was really like to live in Vienna from the the first century through the days of hyper-inflation after World War 1.

Thought provoking and well researched, Europe: Chained by History radiates hope even as it details the formidable & political obstacles to European unity. In the end, a banking or ISIS crisis will force the issue.

With masterful storytelling skills, Hilton uses the personal lives of soldiers, philosophers, dictators, and everyday citizens to provide a vivid account of attitudes and events that have brought Europe to the brink of disaster. By threading his story throughVienna, he shows how Austria’s past explains the present and makes a compelling case for a United States of Europe.”-Chris Johnsten ,International CONNECTIONS Coordinator, Arizona State University
