The whole series is an excellent reference for those interested in history. Possibly a good aid for teaching history in schools.

The dramatic descriptions of the battles of Sedan and the siege of Paris is reason alone to read it. If you like military history, you will find McEvedy's explanation of military strategy enlightening and knowledgeable.

Brief and Limited in Scope, but Well Presented
17 Jun 2002
By Theodore Kloba
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Perhaps a better title for this book would have been: The Penguin Atlas of Recent Mostly Military History: Europe 1815 to 1980. Much attention is given to military campaigns and political boundaries, but little is said of the populations within the borders, except when they are reduced to population figures. Since the book was published in 1982 and not updated since, you won't find any discussion of the important changes in the past two decades.
The writing style is usually engaging, although the author has the irritating tendency to view nations' developments as a contest to attain the greatest levels of population and industrial production.
