History of nations - books
Upvote:1
I think there is one such book that is somewhat closer to what you are expecting from a history book. The Histories of Nations: How Their Identities Were Forged.
From the description given under the book.
Histories of Nations tells the stories of 28 countries ranging from ancient nations like Egypt and China to the US, Sweden and Ghana. The book is a collection of the abridged history and commentary on these countries and is edited by Peter Furtado. It also covers Germany, Turkey and the UK as well as younger states like the US and Brazil, as well as smaller nations like the Czech Republic and Israel. With each chapter written by a historian from the respective country, the book’s disparate collection of national histories is a fascinating and insightful combination.
You are expecting a book that is "accessible and "enjoyable" for non-historians) books about a "global" history of nations " so there is a review of this book that tells us more about how it is written in the way that approximately meet your requirements.
The book is a great way of understanding these countries, not just their history but about how their societies and values were forged. It’s also a fun way to learn more about countries like Finland, Russia, and Hungary, some of which usually don’t get covered in the news or popular media.
This book is sort of autobiographies of the nation/state, told by historians from their respective countries. The countries coverd are.
Egypy ,Iran , India , Greece , China , Ireland , Spain , France ,Russia ,The Czech Republic ,Poland ,Hungary, Turky ,Brazil Mexico, Swden, Great Britain ,The United States, Australia, Ghana , Funland ,Argentina , Canada, Italy , Japan ,Germany Israel.
This is a not a open source book and is only available for purchase.
