Explore how the Celtic and Teutonic worlds shaped Europe and the world, in a closely argued study that traces their long, intertwined history in The Celt and the World.

It traces the rise and fall of German influence, the aging threads of the Holy Roman Empire, and how England, France, and Russia navigated shifting alliances.
