This is the best textbook I have ever been assigned to read for a class. I kept it when the class was done. If you want to learn more about the major conflicts of the 20th century, this is a great place to start. (I have the 8th edition)
Oh, my! The writing -- superb! The story -- fascinating! The lessons, the philosophy -- the descriptions of so very much previously unknown -- this is an A-1 book. I've been in Mumbai (Bombay) and have seen the slums. I have read much about India and Afghanistan; no other book could "put" me there as Gregory David Roberts did with "Shantaram." More than 900 pages and if I didn't have other books waiting to be read, I would re-read this immediately -- a "perfect" book!
