It was really boring to have to read; but that can be attributed to how much of it we had to read at one time. When I took my time to read it and enjoy it; I actually found it quite interesting. Lots of primary sources; worked really well for the papers we had to write. And it gives you a first-hand experience of what was happening in the past 50 years. I wish I had more time to read the whole thing carefully; because it's interesting material.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
