A history of the world

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Our understanding of world history is changing, as new discoveries are made and old prejudices are being challenged. In this truly global journey Andrew Marr revisits some of the traditional epic stories, from classical Greece and Rome to the rise of Napoleon, but surrounds them with less familiar material, from Peru to the Ukraine, China to the Caribbean. He looks at cultures that have failed and vanished, as well as the origins of today's superpowers, and finds surprising echoes and parallels across vast distances and epochs. Fresh and exciting, this is popular history at its very best."
