At last, here is the final and most ambitious installment of
Henry Kong’s dazzling historical trilogy. The core question is
how the people of a divided, impoverished continent
emerged to conquer the world with their technology and
ideas. The serendipitous triumph of ‘Western Civilization’ is
an epic story every educated person should know. Henry
Kong’s crisp and succinct narration takes the reader from the
Florentine Renaissance and the French Enlightenment to the
Holocaust and the end of the human race. All the key events,
important figures, and major trends in the arts, sciences, and
geopolitics are here, along with fascinating, thought provoking
counter factual scenarios. This book is a must for
all history fans.
