   Fernand Braudel's The Mediterranean & the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II -A Masterpiece

   In this video I briefly explain why I think Braudel's The Mediterranean & the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (both volumes but more specifically vol.2) is not only one of my favourite books but In my opinion one of the best early modern history books ever written and an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this history of the Mediterranean, be it Spain, Venice, Italy, Ottoman empire or Northern Africa.
