## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great textbook
*by M***E on October 5, 2021*

This book has a tremendous amount of information in it and as such we have begun using it as our spine text for senior high school world history. I would offer, however, that it might be a bit much for some students whose minds tend to wander when reading. We have found that listening to the audio book while following along on the page is the best way to process this much information. Great resource. Just understand that it is an advanced read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learning a lot!
*by X***X on March 24, 2022*

I am really enjoying this book (almost done). I have learned a lot of what went on in the 20th century. I have really enjoyed learning about how Europe was redefined after the world wars and how colonialism has such a long lasting negative impact on the continent of Africa. It also highlights the cruelty of humans and the suffering that so many deranged people in history have inflicted on others.My only criticisms of the book are that most of it centers on war as opposed to the many other things that were going on during the century. There are numerous references to how many people were killed in various coups, battles, or calamities.Also, the author cites numerous dates throughout the book but typically only includes the year in the date at the beginning of the section/chapter. For example, he may begin a chapter, "On January 6, 1941..." but from that point on, he seldom states the year again. So, many pages later he will state, "On October 2nd,..." On many, many occasions, I could not tell what year an event was taking place because I had forgotten or glossed over the one time when the year was mentioned at the beginning of the section. I started placing a bookmark whenever a year was mentioned to help me quickly find out what year the author was referring to when he said such and such leader was assassinated on Feb 24th.This is a minor complaint relative to the book as a whole and how much excellent information is included. I recommend you give it a read! But, bookmark each page that mentions a year:)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Packed with facts but easy to read
*by R***J on March 12, 2022*

The condensed edition of Gilbert’s three-volume History is a drink from a firehose. It is clear and well-written but probably best read in sections as there is so much history covered. A rewarding compilation of events you know, others you may have forgotten, and some of which you were unaware.The book itself was new, in perfect condition.
