Sammendrag: Empires have risen and fallen through history, yet Europe has remained fractured, with attempts to dominate the continent eventually thwarted. Brendan Simms recounts compelling history over 550 years, from the fall of Constantinople to modern democracies. The story involves emperors, revolution, rivalry, unification, and utopias. As Europe's future appears uncertain, this account is essential to understanding its past.
