A fun and informative trip through Europe's past.
The history of Europe is rich, complex, vibrant, and at times violent; it has influenced many countries throughout the world and has been influenced itself by many countries.
In the lighthearted 'European History For Dummies', historian Sean Lang explores the countries, conflicts, people, institutions, disasters, and triumphs that helped to shape modern-day Europe, packing in tons of facts alongside the fun. Chapters range from “Celts without Kilts” and “What a Way to Run a Republic!” to “I Capture Quite a Few Castles,” “Reformation Ruckus,” and “The War to End All Wars.”
