The Story of Europe

A great introduction to European history. Marshall's book covers the history of Europe from the decline and fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. For a book that was originally designed for young readers, the book is comprehensive in its coverage of European history, every corner of the continent is covered in the set upon timeframe, and the book is written in a matter that would make it engrossing to adult readers.
