Title: No Index
Product review: In general, I enjoyed this historical work and found it informative. While it could get long-winded and focused too often on the minute details of personal politics, I did learn alot about the period and the character of the French nation that was very interesting. The biggest problem, as the title of the review said, is that in a 500 page history book with chapters that average 40 pages and no real breaking points, the lack of an index is a crucial flaw. I don't know how many times in the past year I've wanted to reference or check some of the information I found in Perkins' book. Unfortunately, with no index, it's virtually impossible. The book is essentially worthless for reference. I understand that it was written over 100 years ago and Perkins didn't include one. But this is a reprint. The reprinters should have created an index for the book.
