Review: "Strengths: ? for my purposes, the general narrative approach and ability of the authors to summarize complex developments concisely."

"Your textbook makes my teaching easier because I have tried others and have found that students will generally read yours while they refuse to read others."

"The historiographical debates at the end of some chapters presented as 'Problems' are tremendously helpful in getting students not only to engage the history but the historiography as well."

"In selecting a text I look for a balanced approach with political, economic, social and cultural history intertwined. I also look for attention to women, peasants, workers, and 'minority' groups. This text does a better job than most with all of these."
