Perspectives from the Past offers a wide selection of readings from all regions of Europe, including Venetian ambassadors reports; excerpts from Mickiewics Books of a Polish Nation and Its Pilgrimage; Czar Alexander IIs Edict of Emancipation of 1861 freeing the serfs; the Constitution of the Black Hand, the Serbian nationalist group instrumental in the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand; and In Search of Splendor, Constance de la Moras account of the Spanish Civil War.
