A Little History of the World

 
A Little History of the World book cover
A joy to read,with a narrative that flows like a novel.A book for most (though not all) ages.Some minor deficiencies though.It is a Europe centric book,and mainland Europe at that.Britain hardly features.It's accuracy at times bordering on subjective.China coming out ridiculously unsullied.The suffering of the Jews is well covered,but in his 1980s chapter no mention at all of the world problem of Israel.However they are minor,and l would thoroughly recommend this book,written by a charming man.Not suitable for the young,but okay for the young adult (too much death and suffering) read more.
