Very Good

This book was in the condition described. Very clean and no marks. It also came before I thought it would. Good job and thank you.

Good history book for summer class

This book was a required reading in a short summer history class. The book reads well and is relatively easy to get through. The chapters are organized into sections based on events, so there were some time jumps that I found confusing, but other than that this was one of the best class books I've had.

Great

This book is so informative and gets right to the point! It is enjoyable and easy to read. I thoroughly recommend this book. Buy it today from Kels1720 at a steal of a price and you will be so happy that you did!

Great Book

I was very happy with the book. I was however disappointed with the shipping time. I paid for 2-day delivery, but didn't know that processing the book would take so long. It ended up coming one day before my first test. Luckily I did very well without the book, but next time I will know.

Well written

James A. Henretta and his colleagues have successfully written a concise history book that is not boring or tedious. It offers smooth transitions from topic to topic. It's concise and not boring, not like a tranqualizer like some history texts.
