Story4.5 out of 5 stars 514
Norman Davies captures it all - the rise and fall of Rome, the sweeping invasions of Alaric and Atilla, the Norman Conquests, the Papal struggles for power, the Renaissance and the Reformation, the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Europe's rise to become the powerhouse of the world, and its eclipse in our own century, following two devastating World Wars.

The "ah-ha" theory of history
Reviewed: 02-04-21
If you're a boat-dad looking to bully your kids with professionally-sourced pronouncements about the critical turning points of history (spoiler: Florence), with a pish-posh to structural overdetermination, you're going to love this.
The section on how Erasmus held nuanced, contradictory opinions (like all people ever) was a particularly compelling testament to his vague profundity, which you can share in, if you paraphrase it to a helpless child.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
Charlie Muffin, an endearing spy, irritates his new boss and co-workers because of his appearance and age, but that doesn't stop them from taking the credit for his accomplishments. But Charlie perseveres and proves to be right over and over again in this story of the capture of a KGB general who is running a spy network in England.

Office politics cold war
Reviewed: 09-27-17
... as opposed to Cold War office politics. Though that too. Class conflict in the workplace then a Holmes like bravura reveal that's morally ambiguous.
