A great introduction to the history of Germany. Very simple to understand and lacks significant bias. Would definitely recommend to those interested in German history but unsure on what areas to approach in detail.

Truly a great source of information on what type of world we're living in now. This book was very simple to understand and I felt like I needed no background knowledge on any topics the book covers. Heavily recommend.

1916: A Global History is an in-depth look into WW1 in 1916. Jeffery looks at many different countries like Ireland, Greece, China, etc. However, I feel that unless you are a WW1 enthusiast, you may find yourself bored at certain chapters. I found myself counting down the pages to get to the ‘good' chapters on topics I found interesting. On the topics I found interesting, he took a very unique angle. When discussing Greece in 1916, it looks at it from the perspective of a spy. In fact, many chapters look at the ‘spy' angle. So for those interested in espionage in WW1, you may enjoy this book.

Great introduction on Roman History. Would recommend for people who never studied it before, like me for example.

Amazing introduction to Ancient Greece. Taught me so much.
