Book review: 100 Documents That Changed The World

ONE hundred of the most significant documents in human history, dating from 2800 BC to 2011 AD, are presented in this beautifully illustrated and well-written book.

Awardwinning author and investigative journalist Scott Christianson has set out his material in chronological order, in a series of ‘time capsules’ which show how the Western world progressed towards the level of freedom and liberalism that it has today.

The author has not totally excluded the forces of darkness.
