"What is the scene or incident in European history that you would
like to have witnessed-and why?"
In this companion to "I Wish I'd Been There: Twenty Historians
Bring to Life the Dramatic Events that Changed America," some of
our finest historical writers now turn their attention to Europe,
with lively and detailed accounts of some of the most dramatic
events in history. Guided by peerless scholars such as Paul
Kennedy, John Keegan, Ross King, Freeman Dyson, and Katherine
Duncan-Jones, readers will be transported to the signing of Magna
Carta, the Versailles Conference, the German surrender in WWII on
Luneburg Heath, and other key turning points in the drama of
European history. These essays encompass two millenia and an entire
continent, addressing issues of politics, law, religion, peace and
war, science and the arts, and social change, all telescoped into
finely observed narratives. The result is an historical pageant of
characters and episodes that will attract and delight all readers
of history.
