Finally a decent history on Central America

This book is an awesome introduction to Central American history. I could not find any book on the history of Honduras or El Salvador and this book has taught me everything I wanted to know and more. The book offers a wealth of information on preColombian Indigenous life and what makes Central American countries unique among larger countries like Mexico or Peru. I do not know why they label this as a children/teens book. I am 28 and the material is presented in an adult way.
