A personal history of the world from the pen of an excellent historian. ( )

DB-1

A rather dry piece of text, this book delivers the history of the entire world within 618 pages. Naturally, this text only glides over the major highlights of history and doesn't go into depth on many of it's subjects. The narrative, though very blunt, is relatively easy to follow however tedious the information may be. This book is for the person who wants to learn world history overnight. ( )
