Millennium by Tom Holland
Holland’s research has been prodigious. Even so, I dare say that academic historians will find fault in his willingness to enter into the minds of his characters and tell us their thoughts and feelings. But it is a marvellous, enthralling read, and gives a lively sense of these turbulent centuries that were so crucial in the making of western civilisation.
Read it, and be thrilled, amazed and enlightened.
