History of Europe
Part of a six-volume series documenting the history of Europe, the first volume of Magill's History of Europe identifies and elaborates upon the key events in European history from the dawn of civilization until the year 451. Rather than address historical trends in lengthy narratives, it highlights the situations and repercussions surrounding individual events that shaped Europe and includes analyses of two comprehensive works describing each of them. Primarily written for those conducting scholarly research, it contains a large collection of references and assumes its readers have a moderate knowledge of European history.
