Good book

I first used this book in an Advanced Placement interdisciplinary high school course. If you are looking for a comprehensive and accurate retelling of history, this is a great source.
Very well-written and insightful!

This history book is as great as its predecessor (J.M. Roberts' A History Of The World) except it is less voluminous. It tells the same facts in less space. The essays are rather epic, while including all essential facts! A great buy!
Outstanding! Buy it!

Well-written, well-organized, with a good balance of focus both on events and on underlying trends and causes. Many new insights (for this reader at least). I am not a history buff but have been totally absorbed in this book since opening it.
