Powers and Thrones

Powers and Thrones is a gripping reappraisal of the medieval world and its incredible legacy, as told by bestselling author Dan Jones. From the fall of Rome and the emergence of Europe to the great capitals of the Islamic West, Jones takes readers on a journey through a thousand years of transformation, as the West rebuilds itself on the ruins of an empire. With a focus on climate change, disease, migration, and revolution, Jones explores how Western powers thrived by attracting the most valuable resources, ideas, and people from the rest of the world. As we face a turning point of our own, the lessons of Powers and Thrones matter more than ever.
