The Apocalypse - A Brief History by Martha Himmelfarb

 This one was picked up because from the cover it looked like a critical examination of the idea of Apocalypse. And I was not looking for a literal one.

The book does pick up a lot from the apocalyptic literature which someone can really use to dive deeper into it. However, I couldn't add much apart from the different names who defined apocalypse in their own terms.

Which means there is a lot more reading to do before I say if this book was good or good enough.

I'm unsure if I'll go that deep in understanding the whole idea of apocalypse but if you're looking to start from somewhere or want to have an overall perspective, this is a good one to start with.

Peace
