The Great Migrations brings together 50 epic accounts of the mass movement of peoples. Each account not only describes the migration itself, but also examines in detail its causes and its short- and long-term consequences. The Great Migrations tells a multitude of stories - those of the discovery of new worlds, of flight from persecution, of nation-building, of colonisation, and of human courage and resourcefulness. It tells the enthralling and multifaceted story of the human race itself.
