Reviews

[Persy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was my textbook for a history class in college, and I can say it is not as dry as one might expect. It made required reading feel like less of a chore.

[Brian · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ultimately one-sided and clearly intends to exclude certain major events and factors of causation beginning in the 1970s in order to advance a political agenda and to minimize the contributions of specific figures.
