 Quality information July 5, 2009
A. Vallis
Came in a timely manner, has excellent scholarship for introductory survey; CD Rom also helpful
 Liked Vol. I better December 26, 2006
escapegal (Friedens, PA United States)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I thought Vol. I was much easier to follow. Vol. II jumped from one event to another and not necessarily in order. For example, one paragraph talks about Hitler committing suicide; two paragraphs later the Holocaust is discussed. I found it hard to read.
