The Outline of History: Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading): The Roman Empire to the Great War

By H.G. Wells

Book Overview

Coming right after the carnage of World War I, this title was neither unduly pessimistic and cynical about the human condition nor Pollyannaish about humanity's future. Instead, it offered an account of the development of the world's civilizations up to the present, showing that an enlightened future depended on an unprejudiced view of the past.
