Magill's history of Europe

"Magill's History of Europe surveys, in chronological order, 288 events which shaped the Western world, from the promulgation of Hammurabi's code (c. 1750 B.C.) to the negotiations surrounding the European economic union in 1992. Within this framework, "Europe" is construed broadly to refer to both Eastern and Western Europe, as well as those ancient civilizations (Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and North African) which gave rise to many of the legal, social, and political institutions that have shaped Europe as we know it today...All material was written by history professors and scholars from campuses throughout the United States. Reports of the events themselves average more than one thousand words in length, while the individual reviews of literature run about sic or eight hundred words each." ~ from the Publisher's Note..."Unlike most historical works, it does not attempt to form a particular or overall impression of European history; instead, it strives to give the reader additional insight into specific events and better clarification of the situations surrounding them." ~ wikipdeia.org
