The Verge: Reformation, Renaissance, and Forty Years That Shook the World
Patrick WymanRoss GianfortuneApropos of nothing, I finished @Patrick_Wyman ‘s The Verge this weekend (yes, I’m late on it). 5/5 stars. Just a terrific book about a transformational period in history (which you may be vaguely familiar with, like I am, b/c of names featured in Civ VI) https://t.co/E8WGA7RpBI
