The shortest history of Europe av J. B. Hirst

This is one of the best, if not the best, history book I have ever read. It covers the history of Europe with a thematic approach. It's short, but does not forego to opportunity to give some details and inject some wry humour. The best chapter by far is the first, where the author provides an interesting view on the flow of history.

The Shortest History of Europe av John Hirst

Entertaining, wonderfully informative overview of European history from Classical to modern times. I wish there was an edition with larger maps that were easier to see. A great reference book to supplement other history books in your library. Highly recommended.

‘The Nation Reviewed’, Monthly, Sept 2008: pp. 8-11. av John, Hirst

In this commentary piece Hirst, a prominent historian of Australian history, asks the question were Aboriginal people makers of the game? If so, what role did they play in its creation and development? He looks in particular at the controversy surrounding Gillian Hibbins contribution to the 2008 official history of the game commissioned by the AFL.
