The Pursuit of Power draws on a lifetime of thinking about 19th-century Europe to create an extraordinarily rich, surprising and entertaining panorama of a continent undergoing drastic change.

The aim of this audiobook is to reignite the sense of wonder that permeated this remarkable era, as rulers and ruled navigated overwhelming cultural, political and technological changes. It was a time where what was seen as modern with amazing speed appeared old-fashioned, where huge cities sprang up in a generation, where new European countries were created and where, for the first time, humans could communicate almost instantly over thousands of miles.

Richard Evans gives full coverage to the revolutions, empire building and wars that marked the 19th century, but the book is about so much more, whether it is illness, serfdom, religion or philosophy. The Pursuit of Power is an audiobook by a historian at the height of his powers and an essential audiobook for anyone trying to understand Europe, then or now.

Great book. Covers lots of info. This period is somewhat left behind as it is sandwiched between two war time eras. However it is a must as it explains how the issues from Napoleon's time led to World War 1. Even more importantly it covers all the social upheavals as well as the political machinations of the countries of the time.

Between Napoleon and WW1

I covered this period at school, but mostly from a British only angle. What an amazing and often brutal period this book brings out. Tempted to listen again. Highly recommended.

What a great historical summary of 100

If I were forced to criticize something I would have to say it is the tiniest bit of anglocentric view he exhibits.

Fantastic as always

Richard J Evans is a genius. He handles a huge amount of material with matchless skill and provides the reader with a compelling picture of the century of Europe’s peak and the reasons for its precipitate decline.

Magnificent

A truly superb history of a surprisingly under-reported time period. If you enjoy sweeping narratives of the grand strategies of the competing powers, you should enjoy this book. It also goes into great detail about the political, economic and social forces at work in this era. I will definitely lists again.

The narrator is a little... unusual. However, he quickly becomes very engaging and I would listen to more of his work.

Excellent history
