But international institutions are also tools for the powers that be to advance their own interests. Mark Mazower's \u003ci\u003eGoverning the World\u003c\/i\u003e tells the epic, two-hundred-year story of that inevitable tension--the unstable and often surprising alchemy between ideas and power. From the rubble of the Napoleonic empire in the nineteenth century through the birth of the League of Nations and the United Nations in the twentieth century to the dominance of global finance at the turn of the millennium, Mazower masterfully explores the current era of international life as Western dominance wanes and a new global balance of powers emerges.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49565423993105,"sku":"GOR013706410","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49992577974545,"sku":"CIN1594203490VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50281601073425,"sku":"CIN1594203490G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52779619385617,"sku":"CIN1594203490A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594203490.jpg?v=1750799344"},{"product_id":"hitler-s-empire-book-assistant-of-history-mark-mazo-9781594201882","title":"Hitler's Empire","description":"Draw ing on an unprecedented range and variety of original research, \u003ci\u003eHitler's Empire\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on how the Nazis designed, maintained, and lost their European dominion?and offers a chilling vision of what the world would have become had they won the war. Mark Mazower forces us to set aside timeworn opinions of the Third Reich, and instead shows how the party drew inspiration for its imperial expansion from America and Great Britain. Yet the Nazis? lack of political sophistication left them unequal to the task of ruling what their armies had conquered, despite a shocking level of cooperation from the overwhelmed countries. A work as authoritative as it is unique, \u003ci\u003eHitler's Empire\u003c\/i\u003e is a surprising?and controversial? new appraisal of the Third Reich's rise and ultimate fall.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49762559885585,"sku":"CIN1594201889G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50586094567697,"sku":"CIN1594201889VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594201889.jpg?v=1750762402"},{"product_id":"salonica-city-of-ghosts-book-assistant-of-history-mark-mazo-9780375412981","title":"Salonica, City of Ghosts","description":"Salonica, City of Ghosts is an evocation of the life of a vanished city and an exploration of how it passed away. Under the rule of the Ottoman sultans, one of the most extraordinary and diverse societies in Europe lived for five centuries amid its minarets and cypresses on the shore of the Aegean, alongside its Roman ruins and Byzantine monasteries. Egyptian merchants and Ukrainian slaves, Spanish-speaking rabbis-refugees from the Iberian Inquisition-and Turkish pashas rubbed shoulders with Orthodox shopkeepers, Sufi dervishes and Albanian brigands. Creeds clashed and mingled in an atmosphere of shared piety and messianic mysticism. How this bustling, cosmopolitan and tolerant world emerged and then disappeared under the pressure of modern nationalism is the subject of this remarkable book. \u003cbr\u003eThe historian Mark Mazower, author of the greatly praised Dark Continent, follows the city's inhabitants through the terrors of plague, invasion and famine, and takes us into their taverns, palaces, gardens and brothels. Drawing on an astonishing array of primary sources, Mazower's vivid narrative illuminates the multicultural fabric of this great city and describes how its fortunes changed as the empire fell apart and the age of national enmities arrived. In the twentieth century, the Greek army marched in, and fire and world war wrought their grim transformation. Thousands of refugees arrived from Anatolia, the Muslims were forced out, and the Nazis deported and killed the Jews. This richly textured homage to the world that went with them uncovers the memory of what lies buried beneath Salonica's prosperous streets and recounts the haunting story of how the three great faiths that shared thecity were driven apart.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50349584613649,"sku":"CIN0375412980A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0375412980.jpg?v=1751071693"},{"product_id":"governing-the-world-book-assistant-of-history-mark-mazo-9787508652047","title":"Governing the World","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53252171825425,"sku":"GOR014834469","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53253317951761,"sku":"GOR014835306","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9787508652047.jpg?v=1773596528"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-assistant-of-history-mark-mazower.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
