Product Description
A 700-year odyssey from Italy’s boot to Switzerland’s Alps. Without an understanding of events and personalities in Europe, it’s impossible to truly appreciate the development of contemporary institutions, the role of continuity and change in present-day society and politics, and the evolution of current forms of artistic and intellectual expressions. This guide provides a fascinating, easy-to-understand, fact-filled glimpse of hundreds of years of European cultural, economic, political, and social history.

Reader ReviewsI read this book over summer because I wanted to get ahed in the European History class I would take in the fall. It is a very good overview of most of the major events in European history. Be Warned that this is a good, quick overview, which only covers the basics. Good for people who have not been in a European history class before.
