Reviews

[Nikki · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love this whole little series of books. A great amount of information but concise enough to not be too bogged down - a perfect amount to motivate you to research more in depth information if you desire!

'A book with only words on the cover, no images or graphics'

[Joanne · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting and concise history of opponents. Detailed and accurate but not lengthy and verbose like many history books. Well written.
