Welcome to the Eric Buttacks Show. I'm the announcer and Eric is the host. Well, they name the show after the host.

So you have no idea who I am. Do you? Well, do you? Mummy? Papa? Do you know who I am? Mummy? Now your host, Eric Buttacks.

Hey there folks. I have the tremendous privilege for this hour to speak with someone whose books I've greatly admired and whose books I've used in my own research principally for my book on Dietrich Bonhoffer.

His name is Sir Ian Kirschaw. He's an English historian and author whose work has focused chiefly as you can already guess on the 20th century.

He has a new book out of vast volume. I love. I love huge tombs. It is out from Penguin. It's called the global age Europe 1950 to 2017. Ian Kirschaw Sir Ian. Welcome to the Eric Buttacks Show.

Thank you very much. Great pleasure to be with you. Well, it's really my pleasure. Pleasure in my honor to speak with you. As I said, I'm such an admirer of your work, particularly your work on Hitler.

And I'm curious, obviously, before we get into depth on the new book, what is it that led you to write a book about the last 70 or so years? Somebody who's focused so much on World War II.

And that period, I know you wrote a book about the post-war period, but what was it that led you to write this book because it's such a vast period of time?

Well, first of all, very banal reason. I was asked by the publisher of Penguin to write a history of the 20th century. This was quite some while ago. In a week moment, I agreed to do it.

And then, partway through Penguin then said that would like to make two volumes out of it, a volume on the pre-war period and a volume on the post-war period.

In addition to that very banal reason, there was an additional attraction in writing on the second half of the 20th century that the period of history that I've lived through myself. So it was intriguing to write about a period of history that I've lived through.

But you did write the previous volume. I'm kind of amazed that I was unaware of that. When was that released?

I think maybe two and a half, three years ago, it was called The Hell and Back. I had a whole of Europe in the period between 1914 and 1949.

So this book now is the follow-up to that volume. It falls. It amounts to actually the concluding book in a series of Penguin History of Europe series.

Yeah. Well, I'm a great admirer of Penguin books and have the privilege to be a Penguin author myself. I have to say just to see that the impromatur of the little Penguin on the orange, lasinge, oval.
