A Modern History, From the Time of Luther to the Fall of Napoleon

It is said that the winners write the history, which might be true. But, having a good history book, which is written in the present time, by a person who is not part of it, but has compiled different pieces from the history, is a good overview of the events that happened a long time ago.

The creation of this book is the author’s attempt to summarize the great and important events from the history and to furnish a connected narrative of those events. In this book you won’t find details not elaborated disquisitions.
