Description
A Short History of Europe From Pericles to Putin by Simon Jenkins This concise narrative history tells the story of Europe's evolution from warring peoples to peace, wealth and freedom. Simon Jenkins brings together the transformative forces and dominant eras into one chronological tale, covering key events, themes and individuals from ancient Greece to the present day. From Julius Caesar to Angela Merkel, Jenkins explores the lives and legacies of the continent's most influential leaders, alongside cultural figures such as Aristotle and Picasso. With his usual insight, colour and authority, Jenkins presents a gripping and authoritative portrait of Europe's past, one that is both timely and masterful.
