Customer Review:
Outstanding account of invasion of North Africa 1943. Well researched and written with an engrossing style. I have purchased other Atkinson books and they are all outstading historical narratives written in a manner that one can sense both the overall stratgic as well as human war experinces. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is the most amazing book I've ever read. I went to France for the sole purpose of learning french so that I could read this book. However, this is the worst and most disappointing translation I have ever seen. It has been re-written and re-authored in a postmodernist discourse that is untrue to... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

This was an excellent history of the Algerian War for Independence.

Don't let the title fool you. Especially if you already believe that Euro-centric history is missing a bit of "World History" or tweaked it so much that others in the world don't seem to exist as they should. If you have read Euro-centric World History, then this book will begin to prepare you to... more info | 3.5 / 5.0
