This is a reference book rather than something to read straight through, of course, but I learn something remarkable every time that I open it. There’s nothing like detailed historical maps to guide one’s understanding of human affairs!

I can only hope that we someday get an updated and expanded version, since this was published back in 1970.

Strongly recommend this volume to anyone interested in history. Find a used copy on eBay or AbeBooks and peruse when you would otherwise aimlessly browse on your phone!

Outstanding collection of maps that I've been referring to for more than three decades. A history scholar needs good maps like these.
