Customer Reviews
A fine waste of virtual space - Do NOT buy.
Luckily this review is based on an eBook, otherwise a forest would have been wasted. A want to be history book should be clinical, unbiased, research, factually correct and open ended. Having in one line negated all five of the criteria with an erroneous personal remark about the causes of World War 1 and World War 2, makes me wonder why this is not classified as a diary.
