Twentyeight intimate and unconventional autobiographies of the nation/state, told by historians from their respective countries. Global histories tend to be written from the narrow viewpoint of a single author and a single perspective, with the inevitable bias that it entails. But in this thoughtprovoking collection, twentyeight writers and scholars give engaging, often passionate accounts of their own nations history. The countries have been selected to represent every continent and every type of state: large and small; mature democracies and religious autocracies; states that have existed for thousands of years and those born as recently as the twentieth century. Together they contain twothirds of the worlds population. In the United States, for example, the myth of the nations historylessness remains strong, but in China history is seen to play a crucial role in legitimizing three thousand years of imperial authority. History wars over the content of textbooks rage in countries as diverse as Australia, Russia, and Japan. Some countries, such as Iran or Egypt, are blessedor cursedwith a glorious ancient history that the present cannot equal; others, such as Germany, must find ways of approaching and reconciling the pain of the recent past. 202 illustrations, 157 in color
