Customer Reviews

Most engaging history book I've ever read

This is the best book on history that I've ever read. It states the information clearly and easily without having too much information. It gets the point across perfectly. I don't usually enjoy reading non-fiction books, but this one is quite interesting.

GREAT BOOK!

IT'S GOT ALL THE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW, IN A VERY ENTERTAINING WAY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Highly recommended, well written overview

This book perfectly served my purpose of reading an overview about European history without getting too deep into details. Considering the little free time I have and the thousands of other things keeping me busy, I found this book excellent. It is written in clear language, divided into short paragraphs and adorned with pleasant-to-the-eye font and graphics. Highly recommended!

Great book for European History students

My daughter's AP European History teacher recommended this book to parents during the open house. We were told that it may help during the year and so far so good.

Very helpful

I read this book over summer because I wanted to get ahed in the European History class I would take in the fall. It is a very good overview of most of the major events in European history. Be Warned that this is a good, quick overview, which only covers the basics. Good for people who have not been in a European history class before.
