An Economist and Sunday Times Best Book of the Year

"Ambitious...seeks to rehabilitate the Holy Roman Empire's reputation by re-examining its place within the larger sweep of European history...Succeeds splendidly in rescuing the empire from its critics."
--Wall Street Journal

"Engrossing...Wilson is to be congratulated on writing the only English-language work that deals with the empire from start to finish...A book that is relevant to our own times."
--Brendan Simms, The Times

"The culmination of a lifetime of research and thought...an astonishing scholarly achievement."
--The Spectator

"Remarkable...Wilson has set himself a staggering task, but it is one at which he succeeds heroically."
--Times Literary Supplement

Massive, ancient, and powerful, the Holy Roman Empire formed the heart of Europe from its founding by Charlemagne to its destruction by Napoleon a millennium later. An engine for inventions and ideas, with no fixed capital and no common language or culture, it derived its legitimacy from the ideal of a unified Christian civilization--though this did not prevent emperors from clashing with the pope for supremacy.

In this strikingly ambitious book, Peter H. Wilson explains how the Empire worked, why it was so important, and how it changed over the course of its existence. The result is a tour de force that raises countless questions about the nature of political and military power and the legacy of its offspring, from Nazi Germany to the European Union.

Nice looking but horrible clasp design
Color: 2858-All Black-Black Gold
Nice watch. The only bad thing is the clasps on the wrist band is horrible. One little bump and it opens up and then you have to try to catch the watch in case it completely falls off. I'd recommend only buying this if you are willing to change the wristband out otherwise half the time you will be fighting it from opening up and slipping off.

Works well, tells time, bang for your buck. People are complaining about esthetics and breaking after a while. You're spending 40 bucks on a watch what do you expect? Cmon. Its good for the price buy this one if you want something cheap, functional, and stylish.

Buitfiful watch
Color: Blue Face/Silver Strap
Buitfiful watch with a good weight. The size adjuster only really works though if you unscrew it completely and just push the pins out with that. But other than that it's a buitfiful watch.
