In Europe by Geert Mak (Amazon)
It is written as a trip trough Europe in which he tells the story of Europe through small personal stories of people he meets along the way.
​
It is not exactly what you are looking for but it is still one of the best books on the history of Europe.
How to hide an Empire: The history of the Greater United States
I highly recommend The Coming of the Third Reich, which covers the background in which the Nazi party came to exist and then took power. It covers 1871-1933. Incredible book.
And yeah, the parallels to current world leaders are obvious and upsetting.
The Coming of the Third Reich https://www.amazon.com/dp/0143034693
The most convincing content I have read on support for right-wing authoritarian populist movements within liberal democracies is research done by the political psychologist Karen Stenner. Here is a link to her book The Authoritarian Dynamic and a link to one of her papers. I recommend reading this short interview which covers most of the main insights of her research. Depressing stuff, unfortunately.
You could have a nice conversation. According to this book, aliens speak a 'higher form of Hungarian'.
If you really want to be thorough, without going so far as studying this topic at college/university, College of Europe's prof. Neill Nugent has The Government and Politics of the European Union that is used by many as a handbook in university courses.
It is a genuine scholarly subject of study.
Bay Ganyo: Incredible Tales of a Modern Bulgarian.
Hot to lie with maps.
Ich finde übrigens Goode homolosine projection recht spannend.

There isn’t so much, and I’m saying it’s because of the proliferation of arms among all classes that acts as a deterrent. more guns less crime
> it's been 20 years since I left school and it's probably all changed since then!
I don't know if it's the case for Scotland, but Maths teaching in England and Wales has changed so much in that time that you can even buy books explaining how the subject is now taught!
It's on blu ray now, if you're not up for the myriad less-than-legitimate means of acquiring it.
> I'm an organised communist of the Marxist-Leninist flavour.
i stopped read here, enjoy
The Situation Is Hopeless, But Not Serious: The Pursuit of Unhappiness by Paul Watzlawick.
Jokes aside, probably A Concise History of Austria or Introducing Austria: A Short History.
I followed that one with The Coming Plague. It's a bit more heavy, less of a narrative. Man, I was paranoid for MONTHS after reading those two!
>the odd bit of Marxist literature.
This sort of thing?
Read this: https://www.amazon.com/New-Tsar-Reign-Vladimir-Putin/dp/0345802799
Really, read it. The sheer amount of money this man has stolen from the Russian people is beyond anything.
I'm going to be pessimistic and provide this book by Ford and Goodwin - admittedly, however, books of a similar disposition could be archetypal of all over Europe at the moment, but people coming to the UK (especially from outside of Europe) should definitely give the book more than a passing glance. It's contemporary and, following the 2008 Wall Street crash, it doesn't look like it'll be going away any time soon.
The book is called "Revolt on the Right: Explaining Support for the Radical Right in Britain", and focuses primarily on the rise of Farage and UKIP into the public conscious - for those unaware (to use a few gross simplifications), UKIP is the UK's "Front National"/"Swiss People's Party"; Farage is the UK's Geert Wilders.
You should read this book

Makes a really interesting case about how Britain kinda fucked itself with both world wars
