Vanished Kingdoms by Norman Davies

Vanished Kingdoms by Norman Davies

How many British people know that Glasgow was founded by the Welsh in a period when neither England nor Scotland existed? How many of us will remember the former Soviet Union in a few generations' time? This book answers these questions and includes stories, observations and connections that give us a fresh perspective on the history of Europe.

Norman Davies has the gift of all great historians - the ability to make us rethink the past The Times
