  • Modern Europe

    Early Modern Europe: Europe in History, PART TWO, is where I guide you into the turning point of a continent caught between empire and belief.

    Early Modern Europe: Europe in History, PART ONE, throws open a door to a continent where old kingdoms begin to crack and new powers push through the fissures. I lead you into the age of Mehmed II (whose 1453 CE capture of Constantinople reshaped the eastern Mediterranean), and into the courts of Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon-the Catholic Monarchs-whose decisions ...

  • Late Medieval Europe
    Hui Wang
    Late Medieval Europe: Europe in History, PART ONE, tells the story I wanted to tell - a world carved by bold rulers and relentless reformers. Picture Gregory VII at the heart of the Investiture struggle and, further down the line, Henry V negotiating the Concordat of Worms (1122 CE); imagine Nicholas II securing the Treaty of Melfi (1059 CE) and Urban II calling knights to Cler...

    Early Medieval Europe: Europe in History, PART TWO, opens amid the wreckage left by Rome’s collapse, where figures such as Galla Placidia, Clovis, and Pope Gregory the Great tried to stitch a shattered world back together when the old rules no longer held.

  • Early Medieval Europe
    Hui Wang
    Early Medieval Europe: Europe in History, PART ONE, is the book I set out to write when I first realized just how bewildering the years after Rome really are. This narrative begins in the wake of the fall of the Western Roman Empire (commonly dated to 476 CE) and follows a long, uneasy transition rather than a neat, instantaneous break. Tracing the older biblical traditions-fro...

    Hui Wang
    Ancient Rome: Europe in History, PART TWO, is the book I wish I’d had when I first tried to make sense of Rome’s long slide from republic to empire. I start with Gaius Marius - the reformer whose changes to recruitment and the structure of the legions quietly altered the balance of power in Rome - and then press on to the hard question of why the Republic broke down at all.From...

    Hui Wang
    Ancient Rome: Europe in History, PART ONE, is the book I wrote to tell Rome’s story from the ground up, starting with Romulus and Numa and the fragile order they tried to build. These early figures were not just legends; they shaped how Romans thought about law, religion, violence, and authority. From sacred rituals to kingship, from fear to discipline, this opening part shows ...

    Ancient Greece: Europe in History, PART TWO, is my attempt to tell the Greek story the way it actually felt to live it-tense, unstable, and full of agonizing choices. I open the book with two competing roads to power, Athens and Sparta, and trace how their very different ideas about freedom, discipline, and leadership pushed the Greek world toward confrontation. What begins as ...

    Ancient Greece: Europe in History, PART ONE, is the book I wrote to chase one question that kept bothering me: where did Europe really start to take shape? Not Europe as a modern idea, but Europe as a lived experience - a mosaic of places, practices, and habits people actually inhabited and remembered.The story opens before written records, threads through prehistory, and final...

  • Iraq and the Age of Intervention
    Hui Wang
    Iraq and the Age of Intervention: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to make sense of how a single country kept drifting from one war into the next-and why outside powers kept stepping in. I start at the Shatt al‑Arab, that contested waterway where borders, currents, and national pride conspire to make conflict almost inevitable. From there the story moves into the bitte...

    From Shah to Revolution: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to tell the modern Middle East as it actually unfolded - not as tidy abstractions, but through the messy, human forces of people, pressure, and hard choices. I start in Iraq, not Iran: with oil and power, and with the slow, relentless rise of Saddam Hussein. Moving from the chapter 'Iraq First' to 'Saddam Hussei...

    The Making of Ba’athist Iraq: The Middle East in History, is my attempt to tell Iraq’s modern story the long way, not the shortcut readers often prefer. Before Saddam Hussein and before the Ba’ath Party took center stage, a series of agreements and regional power plays were already redefining the map - British treaties and negotiations, border settlements involving Najd and the...

    Israel and the Arab States: The Middle East in History, is the book I wrote to tell this story through people, not slogans. It begins on November 29, 1947 - the day the UN vote upended the region overnight - and follows the raw emotions that carried populations from tears into open warfare. From that first turning point I trace how decisions made in cramped, tense rooms by a ha...

  • The Holocaust and the Birth of Israel
    Hui Wang
    The Holocaust and the Birth of Israel: The Middle East in History, is the book I wrote after realizing how often this history is told in fragments. We hear the names-Stanley Milgram, Auschwitz, Kristallnacht, the Wannsee Conference-but rarely do we see them arranged on the same timeline. (A note on Milgram: his famous obedience experiments were conducted in the 1960s, after the...

    Origins of the Jewish World: The Middle East in History, opens with a journey that predates the state of Israel by millennia. I begin with figures like Gilgamesh, Noah, and the Tower of Babel because Jewish history did not spring from a vacuum but from the same deep, shared ancient world that produced those stories. From these early myths and memories the narrative moves to Abr...
