"Europe in Our Time - A History: 1945-1992" Walter Laqueur (Penguin)
This is a survey and doesn't mess around with too many specific facts. It did not tell me too much I did not know, but it was fun to realize there was to be an upbeat ending to the book. The transformation of Europe is one of the great stories of the age. . Very objective, a good read for amateur historians.
This was a good book to read, and to dip into again occasionally.
