Description
From the earliest civilizations to the 21st century: a global journey through human history, published alongside a landmark BBC One television series.
Our understanding of world history is changing, as new discoveries are made on all the continents 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. This is a book about the great change-makers of history and their times, people such as Cleopatra, Genghis Khan, Galileo, and Mao, but it is also a book about us. For 'The better we understand how rulers lose touch with reality, or why revolutions produce dictators more often than they produce happiness, or why some parts of the world are richer than others, the easier it is to understand our own times.'
Fresh, exciting and vividly listenable, this is popular history at its very best.

a history of the world !
Really a great book! Definitely worth the time investment. I'm sure some readers will think that a particular person or topic was not extensively covered, but in this type of book that is almost inevitable. Marr's unique perspective and sometimes blunt assessment of historical events and people keeps this very interesting. The content t is also not just as Eurocentric as other books I've read. Also there was surprisingly a lot of 20th century material. Overall a great book I would recommend to any fan of history!
