The Story of Mankind

Title: The Story of Mankind

Author: Hendrik Van Loon

Summary: A brief history of the world up until 1918. The book depicts the author's most important events and people who contributed to the world as he saw it in 1918.

Recommendation: No. It was so hard for me to get through. It took me at least 3 times checking it out and reading through. Normally I am a quick reader and love history, but this was really boring and hard to get through. At times there was too little detail, and at times there was way too much.
