The Great Globe Itself

This is a story of the European political dynamics that proceeded from the mid-seventeenth century, affecting the destinies of Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia, their allies and their colonies. This volume provides an introduction to the period, followed by a more detailed study of the years from 1754 to 1799--the years of George Washington. Future volumes will relate the years of Napoleon Bonaparte, Andrew Jackson, and Karl Marx.
