Europe
A History
Book • 1996
This book is a sweeping narrative that spans from the Ice Age to the Atomic Age, covering the entire history of Europe.
Norman Davies provides a detailed account of major historical events, including the rise and fall of empires, the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the two World Wars.
The book also highlights the history of minority groups such as heretics, lepers, Gypsies, Jews, and Muslims.
Davies gives equal weight to both Eastern and Western Europe, correcting the traditional neglect of Eastern Europe in historical accounts.
The narrative is interspersed with 'time capsules' and 'snapshots' that provide deeper insights into specific historical periods and topics.
