Our editors independently research, test, and recommend the best products; you can learn more about our review process here. We may receive commissions on purchases made from our chosen links. While many history books focus on a limited area, such as the Vietnam War, other texts examine far broader subjects, and there are plenty of volumes narrating Europe's past from prehistory until today. While lacking in detail, these books provide valuable insights into long-term development while avoiding the often nation-centric interpretations of shorter studies. 01

Europe: A History by Norman Davies
Buy on Amazon
This massive tome, which registers well over a thousand pages, explains the history of Europe from the ice age until the late 1990s, in an easily read and wholly entertaining style. An extensive appendix, containing maps and charts of information, creates a useful reference source. This best-selling work has been criticized for a bias towards Poland, but this corrects merely a deficiency in the genre.
