This survey of Western history focuses on the lessons of self-empowerment and decision-making that are often overlooked by traditional historians. Author Levi, who has been an instructor at several universities in California, stresses that history offers trends that illustrate the connections between 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...for example, military conflicts of the 19th Century and business ethics of the 21st Century.
