Because the text is entertaining and easy-to-read, this reference is appropriate for all ages. The color and black/white images including drawings, sketches, paintings and photos bring the history of war alive for readers. Librarians will find it a useful reference, teachers may use it to jump start inquiry projects, and students of history will enjoy browsing the wide range of topics.
Zimmerman's knowledge of history and ability to convey captivating stories is impressive. I don't usually refer to history reference materials as "page-turners," however I'll make an exception in this case. Sitting in front of a warm fire in my favorite leather chair, the evening flew by as I soared through the history of human civilization.
Having received the Gold Medal Award from the Military Writer's Society of America, this book belongs in both personal and library collections. I highly recommend this book. ( )
