Whether interested in the empire of Alexander the Great or the flowering of the Carthaginian Republic and its destruction by Rome, the rise of the Arab caliphates or China’s Tang Dynasty, the American Civil War or the emancipation of women, or the rise and fall of fascism and Communism, readers will find the essential facts in this equally essential book”
