Celebrated historian John Hirst offers a fascinating exploration of the qualities that made Europe a world-changing civilization. The Shortest History of Europe begins with a rapid overview of European civilization, describing its birth from an unlikely mixture of classical learning and Christianity and German warrior culture. Over the centuries, this unstable blend produced highly distinctive characters - pious knights and belligerent popes, and beyond - and its coming apart provided the dynamic of European history in modern times.

Political Cheap Shots Instead of History
Revisado: 08-25-24
Cheap shots at feminism and attacks on the modern separation of church and state make this a polemic and not actual history.
Hirst boasts about the rational thought of the ancient Greeks and then shows he learned nothing from them by completely misrepresenting the arguments of modern "feminists" and "progressives" who don't want Chirstian creation stories taught as fact. Hirst's fallacies are an insult to Aristotle. This book belongs in the Dark Ages, and I regret wasting a half a credit on it.
