Title: can't see the forest for the trees
Product review: An obsession with detail -breaking down history into thousands and thousands of year by year, mind-numbing columns is NOT the way to study history. It might be useful as a research tool, but then decade by decade columns would have done more good to give the gist of history instead of the minutia. But if minutia is what you're after, a soft-ware version of this book -with MORE minutia and more cross-referencing and MORE big picture essays- would make more sense.
