Europe

A one-volume history of Europe, by a distinguished French historian, which aims to give a European view rather than a history seen from one particular national viewpoint. It has been written under the guidance of a strong advisory board, including Keith Robbins, Professor of Modern History at the University of Glasgow, and the English translation has been undertaken by Richard Mayne, a former winner of the Scott-Moncrieff prize. The period covered is from pre-history to the present day.
