Rating:
Summary: A superlative book
Review: I think that it would be very hard to classify this as a picture book. The text is truly tremendous and the accompanying illustrations were excellent.
I certainly look forward to collecting the books in this Time-Life series.

Summary: A researcher's dream
Review: This is one of those rare books which explores both the micro and macro of the period. It discusses the major historical events of the time in great detail. But it also paints a picture of everyday life of the common man/woman. The information is abundant and accompanied with vivid graphical representations which aid in learning about this place and time in history.
