A History of The World Andrew Marr

Fresh, exciting and vividly readable, this is popular history at its very best.

Andrew Marr sets off on an epic journey through 70,000 years of human history. Using dramatic reconstructions, documentary filming around the world and cutting-edge computer graphics, he reveals the decisive moments that shaped the world we live in today, telling stories we thought we knew and others we were never told.

Andrew Marr explores ten key events which have helped to shape our modern world: Alexander the Great's conquests; the French Revolution; the Industrial Revolution; the emancipation of the Russian serfs; the American Civil War; Hitler's rise to power and the Munich Putsch; Gandhi's civil disobedience campaign; the contraceptive pill; the Atomic Bomb and China's twentieth century history.

Romans! Madrigals! The Dark Ages! Revolutions! Trumpets! The Oranges of The First World War! All of this (except trumpets) and more, is covered in this definitive, easy-clean history of all world history so far, written by the 21st Century's leading historian, philosopher and thinkerer Philomena Cunk.
