Making History Interesting!

I took AP European History. I used this "for dummies" book in order to prepare myself for the exam. It was one of the few books that I could read without falling asleep. If I would have had this book before I took the class to give myself an idea of where the class was going, I would have saved myself a lot of pain, trouble, and headache. The most important aspect of this book are the interesting side stories about certain individuals. They make history more personable and sometimes funny. I would highly recommend this book for anyone interested in a *broad* overview of European History or for someone who is sick of the conventional history books.
