Description
The Shortest History of Europe is a thought-provoking exploration of the qualities that have made Europe a world-changing civilisation. From ancient Greece to the present day, acclaimed historian John Bradley Hirst provides a rapid historical overview, followed by in-depth analysis of the continent's unique characteristics.
He examines the complex interplay of politics, language, and power struggles that have shaped Europe, including the pivotal role of the Pope and Emperor, and the great invasions and conquests that have transformed the continent. This updated and expanded edition includes new sections on the industrial revolution, the world wars, and the postwar period.
