This book opens at the climax of the Renaissance and the dawning of a new age. Challenges to the old social order - especially the Reformation - and the growing power of the individual states opened the way for sustained expansion, but also led to splits across Europe and incessant war. These powerful and vast themes are the subject of this impressive survey.
