Creasy (read 13 Dec 1944) I read this in December of 1944, when I was a junior in high school, and was enthralled by the accounts of the 15 battles. On 8 Dec 1944 I said to myself: ": "Read about battles of Arbela, Metaurus, Arminius, Chalons, and Tours. Very good and interesting." On Dec 10 I said: "Reading in Battles. Good." On Dec 11 I said: "Read tonight about Blenheim, and Pultowa. Very good. Certainly am enjoying this classic. I'm learning more history than I have in the past year." On Dec 13: "Finished book. Very good. Informative. History. An important supplement ro keep me from forgetting this year when I can't study it myself. A summary of world's history.". aucune critique | ajouter une critique
