A Study of History
By Arnold J. Toynbee
Oxford University Press (for the Royal Institute of International Affairs), 1947, 617 pp.
A masterful condensation of the first six volumes of Toynbee's classic "A Study of History" in which D. C. Somervell has streamlined the argument by drastically trimming the historical evidence illustrating his points.
