Five Days in London, May 1940John Lukacs

“A gripping historical drama. . . . Lucaks’s story is not new, . . . but [he] has transformed it into a memorable drama.” —M.F. Perutz, New York Review of Books

The days from May 24 to May 28, 1940 altered the course of the history of this century, as the members of the British War Cabinet debated whether to negotiate with Hitler or to continue the war. The decisive importance of these five days is the focus of John Lukacs’s magisterial new book.

The Legacy of the Second World WarJohn Lukacs

“Mr. Lukacs is one of the more incisive historians of the 20th century, and especially of the tangled events leading to World War II.”—Joseph C. Goulden, Washington Times

How did the divisions of Europe—and, consequently, the Cold War—come about? What were the true reasons for Werner Heisenberg’s mission to Niels Bohr in Copenhagen in September 1941? Was the Cold War unavoidable? In this work, which offers both an accessible primer for students and chal-lenging new theses for scholars, Lukacs addresses these and other riddles, reveal-ing the ways in which the war and its legacy still touch our lives today.

The Ancient World

Voting About God in Early Church CouncilsRamsay MacMullen

In this original book, an eminent historian explores how early Christian doctrine was determined by majority vote in church councils during the third to sixth centuries. Ramsey MacMullen brings the reader directly into council chambers, where rank and file bishops engage in debate, then vote to establish a single Christian orthodoxy.


Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth CenturiesRamsay MacMullen

In this book, MacMullen investigates the transition from paganism to Christi-anity between the fourth and eighth centuries. He reassesses the triumph of Christianity, contending that it was neither tidy nor quick, and he shows that the two religious systems were both vital during an interactive period that lasted far longer than historians have previously believed.

Christianizing the Roman Empire(A. D. 100–400)Ramsay MacMullen

How did the early Christian church manage to win its dominant place in the Roman world? In this book, MacMullen examines this question from a secular—rather than an ecclesiastical—viewpoint.

Corruption and the Decline of RomeRamsay MacMullen

MacMullen here offers a new perspective on the decline and fall of Rome. Written in an informal and lively style, his book —the culmination of years of research and thoughtful analysis—provides a fascinating, fresh line of investigation and shows convincingly that the decline of Rome was a gradual, insidious process rather than a climactic event.


Paganism in the Roman EmpireRamsay MacMullen

This is the first book to focus on the beliefs and practices common to all non-Christian religions of the Empire. After examining the successes of the more dynamic cults and the effects on paganism of the conversion of the Constantine, MacMullen concludes that the conversion of the Empire to Christianity was not as inevitable and complete as it has seemed up until now.
