The Mammoth Book of Eyewitness History 2000

I think this is a great history book. There admittedly are some boring things, but also many things that everybody should know. It's very interesting, and has many different things it tells about - from Hunting Crocodiles in Egypt, to Medical Experiments at Dachau (Germany), to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (USA), to The Home Front: A Child's View, Sheffield. Of all my years of reading history books, this one has been the most educational and informative. Also, some things have influenced and touched me greatly. One example:Christmas in the Trenches, Western Front, 1914::: The enemies shared beer and greetings, and not a bullet was shot that day. It is nice to know that even war people can be good and celebrate. While reading this book, I have learned that there is no end to human behavior. Cruelty and kindness, trust and betrayal, love and hate - it's all here in this book, and I have been greatly changed by it.Though not a history fan myself, I encourage everybody to read this book: It, with no doubt, is a great treasure to the world.
