A History of the World |
A huge undertaking perhaps, but Marr’s approach is to single out the big names and events of the past 20,000 years and examine how they changed our world. He brings his subjects vividly to life and exposes logical political, economic and cultural links over the period. Admittedly with such a broad scope, it is an introduction only towards a better understanding of global history, but I found it a beautifully written and enlightening one.
