In this book, Asimov harnesses all his abilities to narrate the most thrilling story: the history of our world and its peoples, from the Big Bang to World War II, and from the control of fire to nuclear fission.
Going beyond the basic facts and dates, this panoramic view allows the reader to follow the stories hidden behind History: the emergence and extinction of species, the political machinations and military strategies upon which great empires and states relied, their great victories and defeats, the advances and retreats of science, the technological and economic developments, the cultural ties and influences that shaped the culture and art of each society.
With his lively and vivid style, Asimov provides us with an enjoyable and educational book that places world history in its proper perspective.
