Heart of Europe: A History of the Holy Roman Empire by Peter H. Wilson

1.0

Truly one of the least-readable books I've attempted to complete. I understand why you might choose to cover the history thematically rather than chronologically, but when there are about 1000 years to explore? Impossible to follow, boring, and unworkable in every aspect. Apparently he gets around to finally describing the geographical reaches of the empire in the second part of the book, which is insane considering the complexity.
