霍布斯邦《極端的年代》、東尼．賈德《戰後歐洲六十年》之後這個世代不可錯過的歐洲史經典作品英國歷史學家、希特勒研究權威伊恩．克蕭20世紀史詩二部曲《地獄之行》、《激盪時代》通往地獄的道路不是善意，而是「鐵了心要自我毀滅」誰又會料想到，原本站在世界文明頂峰的歐洲下一秒卻淪為「野蠻大陸」與「血色大地」然後又在戰後涅槃重生，成為我們今日所見的歐洲二十世紀初，歐洲大陸一片欣欣向榮、歌舞昇平，歐洲人稱呼這是「黃金時代」，歐洲雄踞世界文明之顛，沒有一個國家或地區可以相提並論。但突然間，享受著這一切的歐洲人被拖進兩場大戰，歷經極深的苦難、哀痛和驚懼，四處滿是復仇、內戰與種族清洗。對此，歷史學家齊斯．洛韋稱呼歐洲成為一片「野蠻大陸」，提摩希．史奈德也稱呼戰況最慘烈的東歐是一塊「血色大地」，本書作者克蕭則認為歐洲人似乎「鐵了心要自我毀滅」，一步步走向通往地獄的道路。1914到1949年是個大混亂的時代，克蕭以民族仇恨、國家利益、階級衝突、經濟危機等四條互相交織影響的主線為經，歷史事件順序與各地區不同背景為緯，譜寫這前後達四、五十年歐陸局勢翻天覆地的變化。對當下世界或台灣讀者而言，上世紀前半葉發生的兩次世界大戰，以及期間交互併發的經濟大蕭條、極權政府崛起、右翼民粹風行、自由民主體制無力面對變局，都似乎能從當代看到非常濃厚的既視感。或許我們沒辦法武斷地說：「歷史終究會再次重演」，但至少在回顧這段歷史時，我們可以好好思索人類是如何一步步走向毀滅，且義無反顧，一意孤行。【各界推薦】杜子信｜中正大學歷史系副教授（導讀）黃哲翰｜文史工作者、轉角國際專欄作家（推薦序）汪浩｜《意外的國父》作者、牛津大學國際關係學博士夏克勤｜美國印第安納大學歷史系助理教授海獅｜漢堡大學歷史碩士、大眾歷史作家翁稷安｜暨南大學歷史系助理教授陳仲康｜即食歷史網站負責人、大眾歷史作家蔡慶樺｜作家（以上依姓名筆劃排列）【國際書評】典範之作……一百年後還會有人讀的史學著作不多，這很可能是其中一本。──勞倫斯．里斯（Laurence Rees），英國歷史學家、國家圖書獎得主三十年之久，歐洲頭也不回地走向地獄……說到帶領我們回望兩次世界大戰的陰森幽谷，以及大戰之間危機四伏的二十年，恐怕沒有人比克蕭更合適。──布倫丹．西姆斯（Brendan Simms），英國劍橋大學國際關係史教授克蕭審慎純熟地將大事編織在一起，我們大可放心追隨這位史學
