Comments

What brings these events to life, particularly for reluctant readers, is Thompson’s spirited, conversational narration.

The book’s greatest strength is its colloquial storytelling. The short chapters and extensive use of sidebars are designed to attract reluctant readers, while the breezy, sometimes-humorous style makes the history accessible. Thompson’s passion for his subject is infectious. An easy, breezy series opener that should help create a few new history buffs.
