In the third book in the New York Times bestselling series from Yuval Noah Harari, explore how different ancient civilizations united and created countries and cultures we have today!

How do you become friends with your enemies?

The answer to that is one of the strangest tales you’ll ever hear. And it’s a true story!

Books, movies, and video games are full of stories about wars, battles, and empires, but where did all these conflicts come from? More than 2,000 years ago, humans collaborated, exchanged stories, and married those from different lands. New cities and cultures were formed, and languages and religions were shared. But sometimes our differences become bigger than the things that unite us, turning us from neighbors to enemies.

From exchanging food and traveling across oceans to building empires and developing religions, prepare to explore how early civilizations interacted with each other and shaped the way we are today.

In Unstoppable Us, Volume 1 and 2, acclaimed author Yuval Noah Harari explored the early history of humankind and how human society flourished. In Volume 3, he is back with a captivating story of how cities formed and grew. His dynamic writing is accompanied by a map, timeline, and full-color illustrations, bringing this amazing story of our past to life.
