It is a brilliant survey of man's progress, from the earliest struggles of the caveman to the momentous events of the present.

Wells has evolved a thrilling narrative that tells in lucid and concise style, the dramatic struggle of man against nature and his environment. The Outline of History is a library of knowledge of the past- an authentic record of world history interpreted by one of the keenest minds of the century" -From the dust jacket
