Robert reviewed A Short History of Europe by Simon Jenkins
Review of 'A Short History of Europe' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Short is a correct way to describe this history, it moves extremely rapidly covering the whole history of Europe ending in 2016. The main criticism is that the coverage is not expansive enough, but the goal was clearly to have a short book covering as much as possible within the format. In this the author was successful. Unlike some histories this is not dry stuff, if you are looking for an introduction to European history this is an excellent book.
