Customer Reviews
Very Disappointed
Very good idea of writing book about greatest leaders of the world, but there are a lot of typos starting from names of the leaders and ending by misleading dates of birth and death of a leader. Example: Joanne Darc instead of Jeanne D'Arc
In the book Garibaldi dies 75 years old in 1807, however 1880 he marries.
Following the history, however Garibaldi is born in 1807 and dies in 1882.
To me the history is based on the correct dates, I'm disappointed to see an historical book with these kind of mistakes.
Maybe for English speaking people name of Jeanne D'Arc is not important, but being an American, imaging reading an historical book about American president "Josef Lincoln".
Is this a comical or historical book?
