Description

The West, history tells us, was built on the ideas and values of Ancient Greece and Rome, which disappeared from Europe during the Dark Ages and were then rediscovered by the Renaissance. In a bold and magisterial work of immense scope, Quinn argues that the true story of the West is much bigger than this established paradigm leads us to believe.
