Europe

Any European or world citizen should read this… History that illuminates the present day – T. S. Learner * Big Issue *
Books of real quality and importance are rare. Norman Davies’s history of Europe is one of them. It is a brilliant achievement, written with intelligence, lucidity and a breathtaking width of knowledge… This is a book everyone should read – A. C. Grayling * Financial Times *
A noble monument of scholarship, and all the more noble because it is so full of surprise and feeling… There are superb assessments of vastly daunting subjects – Jan Morris * Independent *
Monumental, authoritative… A book for enquiring minds of all ages, it will answer hundreds of enquires and provoke thousands more – Noel Malcolm * Sunday Telegraph *
No history of Europe in the English language has been so even-handed in its treatment of east and west… Strong characterisation, vivid detail, trenchant opinions, cogent anaylsis all make this tremendous reading * Times Literary Supplement *
