Good intro

John Pinder is a major authority in the literature of the European Union and its evolution from the European Coal and Steel Community. Pinder, traces the history of Western Europe after the Second World War. He describes the accounts of the Europeans as they deal with post war life and the zealousness of creating an institution that would becaome the European union of today. From the small roots of the ECSC to the expansion into the social aspects of life to poltical expasnion and to geographical exspanion, Pinder gives detailed expalations. I highly recommend this book.
