The Times Complete History of the World

Product Information

Like another person mentioned in their review it should really be re-named the Sompleate History of World Wars and the Distribution of Land With over 600 full-colour maps and charts on a wide range of historical subjects and representing the work of a team of world-class historians, this new edition continues a tradition of more than thirty years of excellence, style, authority and cutting-edge design. A problem with the way the authors discuss events is the rarity of explanations. Most of the time, a bunch of different events are given a single sentence, without a clear explanation for the events. Sometimes, paragraphs and different topics are devoted to a particular issue, but most issues are just given the highlights.
