Famous since antiquity as a monument marking the intersection of Europe, Africa, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean, Gibraltar has had a colorful history and outsized importance. The Last Place in Europe, the first book to cover the territory's entire history, offers a sweeping narrative drawn from archaeological findings, archival sources, and first-hand narrative accounts of everyday life, introducing the lives of soldiers, families, enslaved people, and others who have peopled the territory's few square miles.
