Summary:

Discover the pivotal moments that shaped world history through 100 events that defined the human story.

World History in 100 Moments is the definitive companion for anyone who has ever asked: how did we get here? It brings our collective history to life, spanning the ages through events that shaped civilizations, toppled empires and altered the course of everything that followed.

From the first human migration out of Africa to the birth of the World Wide Web, each moment is told with depth and clarity – accessible enough for the curious reader, rich enough for the history enthusiast. What emerges is a compelling saga of resilience, narrow escapes in the face of existential crises and humanity’s relentless refusal simply to accept the world as it is.

Open a window to the past and explore the moments that gave rise to great civilizations and the birth of democracy. Revisit the wars, disasters and missteps that brought them crashing down. And meet the thinkers, leaders and rebels who forced people to look at the world differently.
