Why only one book with some rough oversimplified overview?
Open the wikipedia side of each century and choose one topic and then google or go to amazon or ask here on /lithis/ for a good book on the topic. Dont bother with the history board, noone reads there.
Once you are out of the Dark Ages, increase that to three books at least (as you will have German, English, French, Skandinavian, Islamic, Italian history going on parallely).
Obviously if you get sucked in by a specific period just continue reading from there

This might a somewhat incoherent post but what are some books, be they fiction or essays, about a pessimistic yet still somewhat morbidly appreciative view of Beauty and Innocence? I think I heard one the (probably misattributed) Thomist quote that 'Man is like a snowflake whos center is dung'. I mean seeing children, nature, life and beauty as inherently irrational and inmoral yet also imbued with inherent beauty and splendor, and on the contrary seeing civilization and men as rational and moral yet also ugly and driven to death. Like on the Michael Gira song 'Sunflower's Here to Stay' where evil/Satan is likened to Sunflowers ( And anyone whos had to deal with sunflowers on summer knows how quickly they spread ). Like how we often consider infant babies as the most innocent of the innocents, yet all infants are by their nature selfish, arrogant, ignorant, gluttonous, etc.
Pic related is Rosine from the Berserk arc 'Lost Children', in the story Rosine sacrifices her parents lives to demons so that she may turn one of her fairytales paradises into reality. So I thought it was adequate. ( In the story Rosines faux-elves rape, murder and war on each other but they only do so out of 'play', only for nubile enjoyment, that is, innocently.)
