I appreciated the approach of having students learn about history as it really is: a collection of recorded experiences and its interpretations. However, I seemed to read and not retain anything, and at the end of it I do not have any sort of sequence in my head of the events. Maybe that's just my fault but a format like this makes it difficult to get a sense of what really happened or perceive the connections and causes.

Read for a class, covers most of the central cases with analysis and original documents.
