I didn’t mind it so much, as I needed a “quick sweep” of history when I purchased it. However, but made notes in it with regard to the evolutionary content. I remember researching it, and the original version, in German I think, was never written as such, it was “updated” by the author. So sad. I do think his last chapters about Germany and WW2 are poignant and even if I skipped the book with my children I would like them to read that portion.
I think I would prefer Story of the World or something like that but already own this and can’t spend.
Grombich’s art book is really good. We read the portions that correspond to the era we are studying. I like his friendly style in this book.
