Negative Positive
Title: Excellent, insightful, and condensed enough to make history digestible
Review: The strength of this work is its brevity. The author condenses a great deal of history into a manageable read--ideal for students interested in this period who are weary of ponderous tomes.This work would be ideal for younger readers and/or introductory coursework on the period of history I feel most influential on both America, and as well as European religion.While some will find the brevity pretentious in leaving out many of the major players of the era, I found this methodology to be the book's strength. With an excellent overview presented to the reader, the option prevails for further study should he/she so choose. Unlike many histories of this genre, the work proves the idiom that often, less truly is more.An excellent overview. Highly recommended.
