[Osama · Rating 1 out of 5]

ملخص لأهم الأحداث التي وقعت خلال التاريخ الحديث. يعيب الكتاب تحيز المؤلف للسياسة الأمريكية والنظر للأمور من زاوية واحدة.

[Franklin P · Rating 2 out of 5]

A brief overview of 50 historical events. Not much detail. No real stats or facts, a mildly engaging commute read.

[Anna · Rating 2 out of 5]

Some interesting selections of the most important events. Incredibly brief and unsurprisingly lacking detail and also worth noting that it particularly focuses on western history whilst not citing source material.

[JoJoPNW · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting snapshot of history starting at the Industrial Revolution. Quick read. Amazing reminder of major events that happened in my lifetime!
