Customer Reviews

A good thing in a small package.

At 32 pages, total, this is more like a pamphlet than a book. At the time I posted this review, used copies were available for 98 cents plus shipping. At this price, don't expect exhaustive coverage of the subject. However, for a quickie look at the subject, this is very nicely done. There are color pictures on every page. The monarchs covered include Akhenaten, Nefertiti, King Tut, Alexander the Great, Boudicca, Shih Huan Ti, Montezuma, Atahualpa, Charlemagne, Kublai Kahan, Henry VIII, Ivan IV, Louis XIV, Nicholas Romanov II, Shah Jahan, Ludwig II, the Dalai Lama, Elizabeth I and II, and briefer mention of a few others. I would call it suitable for all ages, high school and up. Unless you are a seasoned history professor, you will learn something about the subject from this tiny book.
