A book for history

[ahmed.younes]

AL salamu alikum wa rahmatulah wa baraktu
Brothers and sisters, I am looking for an english book that briefly explains the true history of the world. Doesn't necessarily have to be from the beginning of time, just something that gives you the idea of how the ruling elite slowly came into power, perhaps from the time of the ottamn empire.
Jazakumallahu 5airan! (:
P.S: let me know if you have any other semi-relevant suggestions.
