text for survey of Central Europe?

[RUSSELL VALENTINO]

Dear Professor Nafpaktitis,

In case someone replies to your question off-line, I would be interested in
knowing what book or books are suggested. If you could forward me a
message, I'd appreciate it (I am proposing a similar course).

Regards,

Russell.

>are invited to come and give a lecture on their particular area of

>textbook with good overviews of the political, cultural, and social
>histories of the region to help students contextualize the more
>specialized readings and lectures they will encounter.

>If you have used or read a text that would be useful for this purpose, I'd
>be grateful for your suggestions.

>Thank you in advance!
