Summary
This survey of Western history focuses on the lessons of decision-making often overlooked by traditional historians. It stresses that history offers trends that connect ideas and action, and that the traditional "dates and places" approach can be augmented with this new vision. The net effect: Levi makes surprising useful comparisons between seemingly disparate things.
