This spare little book is a sweeping survey of the "big picture" of about three millenia of European history. The themes are so wide that it verges on a natural history of the humans that have occupied Europe over this period. But broad-stroked sketches, in the hands of a master, can reveal more than they obscure, can be works of great beauty, and can start one thinking about the essentials that emerge from the welter of detail.
