The West: A Narrative History Volume 2: 1400 to the Present (2nd Edition)

About this book

The West: a Narrative History is a unique text in its field as it was conceived and developed as a brief introduction to the history of the West. It is not a reduced version of a larger study but a fully realized project in its own right. It defines the West in its broadest terms encompassing all of the varied cultures that trace at least some of their ancestry to the ancient Mediterranean world. In addition it consistently reminds its readers of the links between the people who have come to define the West and those in other regions of the world.
