Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"This book is a blockbuster. An Oxford professor sets an impossible challenge for himself and then conquers it successfully in Herculean fashion with an illustrated and readable text of less than 1,000 pages. With the rise and decline of major civilizations in the past millennium, how did the history of the world develop from every point of view? Will the domination of Western civilization come to an end in the next 10 centuries in the Revenge of the East with the supremacy of the Japanese and Chinese? This masterful volume may well be one of the most stimulating experiences of your life as you read and reread it to understand the past and prepare for the future." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)
