<p>Is it possible to self study European History? If so, what’s the best book for self-studying it?</p>
<p>I have the Cliffs and feel like its sufficient.
A book a lot of my friends think is excellent is “Modern European History”. Read that baby twice and will get a 5</p>
<p>Who’s the author?</p>
<p>I prefer to use an actual textbook, for example Western Civilization by Spielvogel. That book is very readable and friendly to students.</p>
<p>I think daman11 is referring to the text by Birdsall S. Viault, which focuses too much on political history and isn’t sufficient, I don’t think, for a 5.</p>
