content: I had to buy this book for a summer assignment my sophomore year of high school, and I spent a lot of time reading it and taking notes on it because we were supposed to be tested on it at the beginning of the school year. However, my AP Euro teacher didn't like this book at all, so he didn't test us on it, and we just went over what we were supposed to learn after reading it. I definitely wouldn't recommend this book to anyone, especially when my teacher didn't even think the book was that useful.
