[Clare · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is an excellent reference book to have. I learned a great deal reading random entries. I am choosing to place this on the read shelf as it is a reference book as compared to a novel. I don't feel I will ever be truely done reading this as I will be going back to it again and again to lead me off in different directions about various subject on world history.

Essential bathroom reading for the historically inclined.

[Richard Isaacs · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent book that gives you an overview of major events in history. It is strongly recommended as a "jumping off point" for those interested in history. Great desk reference.
