Spanning centuries of transformation, conflict, and progress, A History of Europe by Sir J.A.R. Marriott is a definitive survey of the forces that have shaped the European continent. With a scholarly yet accessible tone, Marriott navigates through the epochs of European development—from the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome to the complex dynamics of the twentieth century.

Originally penned by a noted British historian and statesman, the book reflects Marriott’s deep understanding of European politics, governance, and society. His writing captures not only the chronology of events but also the underlying ideas and ideologies that drove shifts in power, philosophy, and identity. This 1986 edition published by Surjeet Publications presents his work in a compact, reader-friendly paperback format while retaining its academic rigor.

The volume delves into major movements such as the Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution, alongside the rise and fall of empires, revolutions, and wars that forever changed the geopolitical map. Marriott gives special attention to the balance of power, the rise of nationalism, and the constant push and pull between authoritarian regimes and democratic ideals. His analysis, grounded in historical evidence and philosophical insight, makes this more than a timeline—it is a reflection on the human condition as played out in the European theater.

Ideal for scholars, competitive exam aspirants, educators, and anyone interested in the grand narrative of Europe, this 630-page volume is a rich resource for understanding the interconnectedness of past events and modern realities. The portable 5 × 8 inch size makes it convenient for study and reference, while the paperback format allows for easy handling during long reading sessions.
