Publisher's Synopsis
Nostradamus was a 16th-century physician and scholar who left a series of predictions using cryptic, allegorical verse. This text juxtaposes the prophecies with explanations of historical events and interpretations for the future. It provides coverage of French and British history and discusses events predicted such as the two World Wars, the assassination of the Kennedys, the Gulf War and the breakdown of the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales. A final section looks at predictions that an Islamic invasion of Europe will occur in the early 21st century, that France and her allies will be victorious and that a French president will become head of Europe.
