When it comes to world history, battles in tiny corners of Europe and the love affairs of kings often obscure the big picture. The No-Nonsense Guide to World History integrates concisely the conventional narratives of dynastic politics and wars with the stories of the continents and communities, the great civilizations of Asia, Africa and Latin America, and the history of women, that are often missing from standard history texts.
