I read parts of this book for my IB and AP European History class. I did not like it as much as some others like Contemporary Europe: A History by James Wilkinson and/or A History of the World by R.R. Palmer. Some people, who were not quite as history orientated liked it a lot better than the previously mentioned works.

It is nice though because there are a lot of primary sources inside, particulary letters from leaders to each other and the such. Overall an interesting mix of stuff.
