Simon Jenkins creates a vivid portrait of a continent with its imperial ambitions, fierce battles and existential fears, which the author believes are as much a part of Europe today as they were in the time of Julius Caesar and Charlemagne, Joan of Arc and Bonaparte, Lenin and Churchill. Above all, the author appreciates political history and the endless power struggles at its center. Without changing the chronological approach and moving from country to country, from one historical event or character to another, Jenkins lays out the history of a continent that has made arguably the most significant contribution to the formation of modern civilization. And this is no mere statement of fait accompli: by the final pages, the reader of A Brief History of Europe realizes how much of humanity's present is rooted in its past.
