Description
A Radical History of the World challenges conventional narratives of the past, instead highlighting the transformative power of ordinary people's actions. From hunter-gatherers to ancient empires, and from the Russian Revolution to modern imperialism, this history reveals the complex, often brutal, choices that have shaped human societies.
Neil Faulkner's sweeping narrative spans two million years of human history, tracing the struggles for a better society that have driven human progress. By examining the mass action of ordinary people, Faulkner offers a fresh perspective on the events that have shaped our world.
With chapters covering key periods and themes, including the rise of industrial capitalism, the revolutionary wave, and the new world disorder, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human history.
