Reader Reviews
My parents are medieval historians (their books are available on Amazon!) and I remember seeing the original version of this book around the house. I was fascinated by it, and it taught me not just history but economics, geography and plenty of English. The maps are intoxicating, but it's the text that accompanies them that is the true star. That being said, let me add praise for the maps, in particular for the revolutionary idea of using the same basic map over and over, which creates a kind of flipbook effect---you can see the Arabs surge out of the deserts and overwhelm North Africa and the Near East, then fracture, you can see the Mongols surge in from Asia and recede, and you can see the little kingdoms of Europe condense into France, England, Poland and the Holy Roman Empire. The Middle Ages were an incredibly diverse and energetic time, and it's hard to imagine a standard history text doing such a thorough job of describing them in so few words.
