Love it!!Feb 05, 2010
For anyone who loves history, or even those they get bored with typical historical books, this is for you! It has such unique stories and facts included in it, that you'll love to just pick it up and flip through and read the short, but very educational and informative, articles.

This is one of the best books on history I've read. Extremely well-written and composed (small articles/subjects). I would definitely recommend this one!
