Captivating History

Concreta historia de España. Me gustó.

The book starts at the beginning when the country formed after the Ice Age and claimed by nomadic travellers, providing illustrations and photos to accompany the text. This is a compact history of the Netherlands, looking into the evolution of eras and the impact the history has on today. This includes the wars, the Church, the coast, and the Royals.


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Hungary has been at the center of everything for a very long time. Originally settled by Magyars, with a unique language, it has quite a number of minority populations. It borders Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. It was an important buffer for Europe from the ever-expanding Ottoman Empire, was occupied by the Nazis, and "liberated" by the Soviets. It barely touched on the revolution I found so interesting in Michener's Bridge at Andau. A good short overview of Hungarian history.

I was looking for a well written short history on the Teutonic Knights and I found it.
