Description
Powers and Thrones: A New History of the Middle Ages is a gripping narrative that takes readers on a journey through the medieval world, from the fall of Rome to the emergence of Europe. Dan Jones masterfully weaves together the big forces that still occupy us today, including climate change, pandemic disease, mass migration, and technological revolutions.
From the great capitals of late Antiquity to the influential cities of the Islamic West, Jones explores the complex and often tumultuous history of the Middle Ages. With a keen eye for detail and a compelling narrative style, he brings to life the big names and events that shaped this pivotal era.
This book provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the medieval world, one that is both informative and thought-provoking. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history, and a fascinating insight into the legacy and lessons of this essential era of world history.
