This was a fine review of European history This was a fine review of European history. I found the second half of the book to be quite a bit stronger than the first, in which many issues were treated incredibly skimpily and Davies often resorted to frantically listing monarchs and their reigns in a manner that really taught me next to nothing. There is also a lack of emphasis on many important aspects of history, particularly the economy, family and everyday life. All that said, there is lots on info packed into this book and you will…

Missing pages! Check your copy on arrival! The book itself is fantastically interesting, however my copy had several pages missing from the middle. It’s such a long book that I only discovered this outside of the standard return period. Bit disappointing.
