Book Synopsis

Sources for the History of Western Civilization is a primary source reader designed specifically to allow undergraduate students to interact with historical documents. Michael Burger provides only the editorial guidance that students truly require, without unnecessary interventions.

The third edition features substantive revisions and additional coverage of key topics throughout; Volume Two includes an extensive table of comparative GDPs of various
