1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. West in the World IIBy MJZAs text books go; this is a pretty good one! It's well written and interesting. There is a lot of information between these covers; however most if it is more of an over view of what was going on at a certain time in history. If you were looking for something with more detail and a bit more info on the people who were important during that time; you won't find it here. However; if the authors did go into detail this would be a ridiculously large book to have to tote around.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
