Product Description

The orginal hard back is a nice book with good presentation and maps. The copy I received is poorly presented and NO MAPS which are essential to the reading of the history. Copy I received looks like a ebook printout just bound. Chapters all run together The publisher doesn't even know who the author were (two not one!!!). AT $23 A VERY VERY BAD BUY not recommended in the paper back edition!!!!!
