| Why it’s on the list | The second volume of Susan Wise Bauer’s narrative world history, from Constantine’s conversion to the First Crusade, deliberately refusing to stay in Europe — Rome, Byzantium, Persia, the Arab conquests, India, China and Japan in roughly chronological order. Written to be read straight through, which makes it usable as the spine of a self-directed history course. |
