Customer Reviews

History buffs, take note.

I am rating this book 5 stars for the information it contains and a 1 for it's size. I was surprised when I received this book. It is huge and really too heavy to hold and carry around. One needs to sit at a table to read it. I bought it from a bookseller and it was incredibly inexpensive. For easier reading, it should have been made into a set of 3 or 4 books.

accurate
