Negative Positive
Title: Excellent
Review: Easy reading for anyone. There are more academic books on this subject but this contains lots of information for someone interested in the era and readable at the HS level. I strongly recommend every high school world history teacher read this book. Covers everything from the Royal court to the life of the common person in the 8th century. Religion, economy, and the military are given chapters.Very useable bibliography. Not big, but, has short opinions as to usefulness that match my opinions of them.I wish I'd had this book when I was a HS student just falling in love with history.
