Title: Decent Attempt
Product review: Grand synthetic history is usually tough to write, and to read. Davies more or less succeeds in telling the story of "Europe," and it certainly passes muster for the general reader. Nonetheless, the book has some faults, particularly Davies' silly insistence that Poland is the center of Europe, the world, and the universe. But it's an easy read, entertaining, and Davies has an interesting take on things.
