Europe

In "Europe," award-winning historian Roderick Beaton explores the continent's complex identity and history, from ancient Greece to the contemporary challenges posed by events like the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He examines key historical developments such as the rise and fall of Rome, the spread of Christianity, and major upheavals in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, all while weaving together the voices of historical figures through original sources. This bold narrative presents Europe not just as a physical space, but as a continually evolving idea shaped by its people across more than 2,500 years.
