The Story of Civilization

Will Durant’s purpose in writing STORY OF THE CIVILIZATION was not to create a definitive scholarly production but to make a large amount of information accessible and comprehensible to the educated public in the form of a comprehensive “composite history.” Given the massive undertaking in creating these volumes over 50 years, errors and incompleteness were inevitable by Durant’s own reckoning; but no other historical survey matches let alone exceeds the breadth and depth of his project.
