It is so easy to read and neatly hovers in the twilight zone between a broad overview and enough detail to be just right. As literature, it reads more like a speech than a scholarly work. Indeed, it is not thorough - the industrial and agrarian revolutions are scarcely mentioned. For this reason, Clement Attlee suggested that a better title might have been: "Things in History that Interested me". Despite this, the work remains a classic by one of the greatest wordsmiths in the language. This history, in 4 volumes covers the time from Julius Caesar to the just before the first world war. Volume 1 is my personal favorite because it deals with the origin of England and the long development of its legal system and government. In the process, England then bequethed to the western world the ideas of the Rule of law, Common Law, Westminster government, etc. This work is a "must read" for anyone wanting to know how our modern world was shaped. Volumes 2, 3, & 4 cover Renaissance & Reformation, The Age of Revolution, and the the Birth of the Great Democracies including Austrlia, New zealand, USA, Germany, etc."; 9 X 6 X 6 inches; 1760 pages.
