Glimpses Of World History by Jawaharlal Nehru

Being Further Letters to His Daughter, Written in Prison, and Containing a Rambling Account of History for Young People

A sweeping, accessible survey of world history presented as a series of letters from a father to his daughter during imprisonment, tracing the rise and fall of civilizations from antiquity to the early twentieth century while connecting political, economic, scientific, and cultural currents across regions; it critiques imperialism and dogma, champions rational inquiry and humanist values, and shows how the past’s intertwined forces shape contemporary struggles for freedom and social justice.
