<p>In the twelfth century, Pope Clement III declared: ‘The Pope is resolved to be the lord and master of the world’s game.’ Yet history has proven to be much more complex.<br><br>In this epic narrative, Frederic Raphael explores the most significant moments, ideas and figures that have shaped the world’s stage.

It is often a story of conflict: the rise of anti-Semitism, the tensions between science and faith, progress and strife, comedy and ruthlessness.<br><br>Thought-provoking and compelling, <i>The World’s Game</i> weaves a tapestry of the Western world and the power struggles that have shaped it.</p>
