The Western Heritage weaves social, cultural and political history into a clear narrative account of the central developments in Western history. Authors Donald Kagan, Steven Ozment, Frank Turner and Gregory Viggiano define how the West has interacted with other cultures, and show how the history of Western civilization can shed light on global challenges today.

The authors have updated the 12th Edition to reflect recent developments, in the West and beyond, that show how the legacy of Western civilization remains relevant today. Striking and informative images of historical figures, events, objects and sites bring the West to life. Over a third of the more than 400 images are new to this edition.
