Title: Disappointing -- Nothing More Than A Collection of Headlines
Review: What a disappointment this book was. It truly is nothing more than a regurgitation of a good newspaper's "Year in Review" section for each of the years covered. It simply lists one event after another. There is no attempt to analyze or put in perspective events, nor is there even a shred of a story thread to carry the reader.I haven't read the first two volumes in this series, but I can't imagine them being as bad as this one, else the author would never have received a contract to do this book. This work is an embarrassment to the author, the publisher, and the intellectuals in the United Kingdom.
