History as Intersting?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
In this first of a two part series, Jones does an excellent job of presenting history in an interesting, well-rounded manner. His style is easy to read. The facts included are well-chosen and he has a habit of doing a mini-character study of major players. In reading this book we learn about the people, the world events, and civil society that influenced American foreign policy. An excellent book for both the student and recreational reader, I highly recommend this book for all Americans.
