Does anybody have any sources for European history, be it books or online sources? Whatever time period is fine, but 19th and 20th century would be particularly appreciated.

I would also like to know if there are any good ones. I'm doing a course on economic history of Europe from pre-WWI to today, and would love to read something that uses an Austrian perspective for interpreting the events of history.

Yes, I've seen lots of topics like these, none really get a satisfactory answer. Besides AJP Taylor, of whom I'm already aware, that is. I wonder whether or not it would be a worthwhile task to compile a list of history books that may be of interest to Austrians/ libertarians much in the same way as there exists reading lists for political philosophy/ economics.

I think I have quite a few books on the history of Europe. They are buried in my basement somewhere. I will give you the names whenever I can find them.

 

There is also this http://www.euratlas.com/time2.htm 

Not really the history of Europe.....but It is fun to look at!
