Author Description

A comprehensive narrative of the rise and development of nations, as recorded by over two thousand of the great writers of all ages: edited with the assistance of a distinguished board of advisors and contributors by Henry Smith Williams L.L.D. in twenty-four volumes. Beginning with the origins of man and the earliest civilizations, Volume 1 charts the entire Egyptian period before moving on to Mesopotamia - Sumer, Babylonia and Assyria - with richly detailed chronologies. Covering more than 18,000 pages overall, these volumes have been digitally remastered with page rust and general wear and tear removed, restoring these wonderful books to pristine condition. Presented in large format pages with hundreds of illustrations, The Historians' History of the World is an essential collection ready to be rediscovered by new generations.
