The Shortest History of Europe: How Conquest, Culture, and Religion Forged a Continent--A Retelling for Our Times, Paperback/John Hirst

Descriere & specificații

Uncover the decisive moments that shaped a world-changing continent. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. Propelled by a thesis of startling simplicity, celebrated historian John Hirst's fast-paced account of the making of modern Europe--from Ancient Greece to today--illuminates the continent as never before. Just three elements--German warrior culture, Greek and Roman learning, and Christianity--account for everything from the Crusades to the Industrial Revolution. Hirst's razor-sharp grasp of cause and effect helps us see with sparkling clarity how the history of Europe--and the crucible of liberal democracy--shapes the way we live now. John Hirst (1942-2016) was a celebrated historian and social commentator whose notable history books include Australian History in Seven Questions and The Australians . A history professor at La Trobe University for almost 40 years, he lived in Melbourne, Australia.
