Rezensionen

Praise for 'The Times Complete History of the World':

'One of the great works of historical reference in the English language. If you were allowed only one history book in the whole of your life, The Times Complete History of the World would be hard to beat because it conveys a sense not only of time, but also of place' Niall Ferguson, Professor of History, Harvard University.

'Wonderfully told history ... comprehensive and utterly accessible' Jon Snow
