This narrative history departs from the standard "rise of the West" storyline that has driven world historiography for a century. A stellar group of historians paint a different modern world history, one in which the rise of the West was not predetermined and where global integration has manifested itself in fits and starts rather than as a smooth process over the last seven centuries. This interpretation is driven by powerful ideas and colourful stories.
