This book is a revisiting of Medieval Europe that calls into question many myths and misconceptions of the time. It's certainly interesting, and was an easy enough read, but it's only 300 pages long and covers about 1000 years of history, so it doesn't get very deep into many subjects. I think in part because of the brevity, the book will often quickly mention some collection of people other than western european christians, only to veer back into largely describing this period of history in terms of christians and western europeans. The book claims to be explicitly anti-white supremacist, and while I don't doubt the intention is there, I think the book doesn't succeed as well as I would have liked. I'm glad I read it but mostly because I'll probably try and find other more detailed books about the period.
