Without knowledge of it, no one can hope to understand Europe today. The Times 'History of Europe' uses clear, authoritative texts and lavish full-colour maps to chart these historical developments simply and comprehensibly. It reveals a relentless process of change, a kaleidoscope of constantly shifting borders, of dynastic ambition, of wars and treaties and the growth and contraction of empires. From the rise of Greece and Rome to a Europe on the verge of a new superstate, this spectacular atlas presents a masterly overview of European history. | |
