Publisher's summary

Intrigue. Disease. Adventure. War. Invention. Famine.

This is the story of how humankind emerged from the Dark Ages prepared for the coming age of enlightenment.

There is a good reason why many fantasy epics are based on events that took place in the Middle Ages. For nearly a thousand years, people battled nature, disease, and each other to survive.

Visionaries laid the foundations that today’s world is built upon and their inventions and innovations gave rise to literacy, education, medicine, engineering and more.

Explorers opened trade to foreign lands and flooded Europe with luxuries including silk, tea, and gold.

Nearly half a million people died of the black plague.

The feudal system failed, and aristocratic power dwindled.

not very detailed

This book is not very good. It's a very quick vague look at the Middle Ages, and only really covers the end of the period. This book lost me when it was refering to king Arthur as if he was a real person. Also there is a obvious biased against religion as well.

A do not bother book

A superficial view of the Middle Ages indeed. It is incapable of seeing life and accomplishment from the perspective of the long middle ages. The critique from 21st century perspective adds arrogance to the superficiality.
