Books/resources on the long nineteenth century (hexbear.net)

Looking for some books or other resources that serve as good overviews of the long nineteenth century, especially as it pertains to Western Europe. I of course know of the Hobsbawm series which people have recommended. I also found a book recently - The Long Nineteenth Century: A History of Germany, 1780–1918 by D. Blackbourn. I know nothing about it or the author, but it sounds like it could be okay, though I don't think the author is a Marxist like Hobsbawm.

Does anyone know of any other good histories of this period? Looking to give myself some historical context for Marx.
