- Reviewed in India on 25 October 2018Verified PurchaseA very informative book.
- Reviewed in India on 25 September 2017The author has captured the history of nations across the globe very well. Not only the ancient but also modern history is covered. Well written
- Reviewed in India on 11 September 2023Verified PurchaseOne paragraph merges into other.chapters can be made so much more interesting by giving dates and headings.
- Reviewed in India on 31 March 2018Wow!what a read...needle eyed research to explore all possible avenues.Must read by all to understand the human psyche leading to history.
- Reviewed in India on 10 March 2018Verified PurchaseBook is fine with History detail but does not have even a single picture hence not that much effective which I expected
- Reviewed in India on 1 August 2017Wikipedia has better resource depth than this book and moreover it is just a glimpse into worlds history and not world history by itself

1.0 out of 5 stars Superficial and too boring to read
Verified PurchaseI probably expected too much for such a thin little book, but I found it very superficial. The entire October Revolution on less than a page? Well... I was looking for a world history summary, but the information was presented in such a thoroughly boring manner that this book is basically unreadable. I don’t enjoy giving bad reviews, but I definitely wouldn’t buy it again. Read “The Silk Roads” by Frankopan instead!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great History Overview
Verified PurchaseI really loved how this book breaks down an overview of world history. It covers periods of time through Egypt, Rome, Asia, India, Europe, Russia, America, and more.
What is really great about this history book is that I have been able to give it to my son to help him have an overview of the history of the rest of the world. I like how concise the text is and the summaries of each era. It is a great homeschool resource or good for someone that needs a better understanding of the world.
My middle school son can read this book, but it wouldn't work well for my grade school child to read on his own. It would be good for a read aloud session.

4.0 out of 5 stars Because history doesn't have to be dry and dull. You get all of the high points but none of the headaches.
Verified PurchaseWorld History: Ancient History, United States History, European, Native American, Russian, Chinese, Asian, African, Indian and Australian History, Wars including World War 1 and 2 is the world's kindest introduction to world history. You get all of the high points but none of the headaches. It is clear, clean, and gets right to the point of every major time in history. This is world history without all of the boring wordiness. It gives you an over-arching view of every society on earth including their artistic, mathematic, scientific, and cultural accomplishments. You learn about important artifacts, buildings of historical importance, and war motivations, costs, and the after effects. Something that I feel like history classes tend to gloss over is how wars decimate not only the losing side, but the victors' too. In its brief way, this work nods its head to that reality.
The tone is of the book is factual and fluff-free but holds interest. The words are not weighed down with any musings about the historical happenings, and so, you can read through this quickly while gleaning only the facts.
Wherever history has doubts, they are also noted here. I think this is important because there are some parts of history where things were not written down or otherwise noted (whether it be in song or verses passed down orally), so it's good to know that there are variations in what is known about any historical occurrence.
I definitely retained more from reading this than half of the stuff teachers attempted to cram into my head during a year of world history. Which brings up the question of whether "no fluff" history books should be required to introduce such a large amount of history to new students?
Why should you read this book?
Because reading can enhance your thinking. Because there is so much that can be learned from history. Because history doesn't have to be dry and dull. Because sometimes you need to baby step yourself into the deep well that is world history. History can also influence your thinking and be inspirational, as well as informative, helping to create more well-rounded people who have a greater awareness of the world.
