Hammond: Atlas of the 20th Century

An excellent learning tool for most educational levels. I recommend this book for the high school student with an inquiring mind, the university student with an introductory or intermediate level of knowledge and the armchair historian familiar with the subject. Of course, the best feature of this book is the extensive collection of full-color maps, but the commentary is well-written and knowing. I would have liked a more descriptive analysis of certain events but this is already a lengthy work.
