Used for a HIS10C class for UC Davis.1 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Not nearly as boring as most history booksBy Cassandra ThomasAs with most people; I had to purchase this book for a class. I'm not a fan of history class in general; but this book isn't nearly as painful to read as some of the other history textbooks on the market. While it was still a tad dry at times; the writer doesn't bore you to death which I can appreciate.
