In this monumental book, Chris Harman achieves the impossible-a
gripping history of the planet from the perspective of the
struggling people throughout the ages. From earliest human society
to the Holy Roman Empire, from the Middle Ages to the
Enlightenment, from the Industrial Revolution to the end of the
millennium, Chris Harman provides a brilliant and comprehensive
history of the planet. Eschewing the standard histories of 'Great
Men,' of dates and kings, Harman offers a groundbreaking
counter-history, a breathtaking sweep across the centuries in the
tradition of 'history from below.' In a fiery narrative, he shows
how ordinary men and women were involved in creating and changing
society and how conflict between classes was often at the core of
these changes. While many pundits see the victory of capitalism as
now safely secured, Harman explains the rise and fall of societies
and civilizations throughout the ages and demonstrates that history
never ends. This magisterial study is essential reading for anyone
interested in how society has changed and developed and the
possibilities for further radical change.
