Title: WAAAYYYYYYY TOO WORDY !
Product review: As required college reading for a Latin American History course, this book was painfully long and overly wordy. Filled with descriptions on every page, the actual important facts must be navigated by the reader, making note-taking difficult and compounding the problem of "what's important" and "what's just fluff" that every student undergoes.My advice from the Professor who wholeheartedly agreed with my frustration was to skip a lot of the superfluous babble and attempt to skim for the valuable information.All in all, Crow is an historian, and enjoys lengthy dissertations. A good choice if you have LOADS of time on your hands and nothing else to read or do for a while.A much better choice for crisp and concise facts on the Central and South American regions is MODERN LATIN AMERICA by Thomas Skidmore and Peter Smith.
