Not "paperback" version but study guide.......2003-09-03
What is being called the "paperback" version of A Short History of Western Civilization here is in actuality not the paperback version at all but another paperback book entitled "A Study Guide to Accompany A Short History of Western Civilization from the 1600's." Richard Sullivan is not the author of THIS book. On the order form and on the packing slip it says "A Short History of Western Civilization" but it is not! If what you want is a study guide for half of this book then go ahead and order it. If you really want the entire Short History of Western Civilization book, then order the HARDCOVER version.
Wrong Book Reviewed.......2002-01-24
Dear Amazon.Com,
I wrote the one star book review for this book which is currently on file. The review is incorrect and should be deleted or modified. I ordered "A Short History of Western Civilization (paperback), but received "A Short History History of Western Civilization since 1600 (paperback)". I wrote the review and then discovered that I had the wrong book. I have returned the book for a refund and reordered the hardback book of the same title. You might want to note that the paperback version is a Study Guide and not a History Book. If you wish you can move the review to the correct book or delete the entry. Thank you
A Study Guide, Not a History.......2001-12-25
A Short History of Western Civilization (paperback) is a study guide and not a history book. It's great if a study guide, complete with questions, is what you are seeking. The volume was written by Joyce E. Salisbury, not Richard Sullivan as listed in the web site and published in 1994, not 1993. It's Volume Two: since the year 1600, and not a complete guide to the hardback book. The guide is about 128 pages and includes some maps. I give it one star because a study guide is not what I'm seeking.
European History as a Diet of Facts at its best.......2001-01-29
Combined with interesting lectures that built upon the content of this book has the potential to creat a great semester of Western Civilization. I found the book to be a comfortable read, that provided the necessary facts and stories to provoke interest in the topics covered in each chapter. It also provides a fulfilling interpretation of historical events and the culture shaping effects of those events in history, as well as detailing the people behind the decisions. Its a comprehensive collection of the Western Civilization.
If you get your hands on this text, read it if you are interested.
Excellent work for students and general readers alike.......2000-04-10
This book traces the history of the western world, from ancient Egypt up to the fall of the Berlin wall.
The book is divided into periods of history, then further subdivided into sections about that period. You can 'dip-in' to a section easily, I find myself picking the book up for a light spot of reading with a cup of tea. I also use this book heavily in my Classics course - so it has a multitude of uses.
Overall, a thorough, unbiased, but easy to read account of western civilization. If you live in the western world, and are wondering where you came from or why things are the way they are, then get this book!

History is written.......2006-02-27
Another great book to purchase for those in the History field, Political Science(Government), or just a nut like me that is proud of America and wants to know more. This book and the book on the constitution are great little books to carry and to learn from, great for school aged children and those that have graduated to higher learning. Share knowledge and refresh those facts that one may have forgotten about over the years. A+++++
Don't leave home without it........2003-09-07
I keep this little book in my car. It's perfect for those times when you are waiting in line at the drive up bank, waiting for an appointment or any other occasion when you have a few minutes to spare. What better way to pass 5 minutes than to read a short biography or two about our founders?
Excellent Summary!.......2001-10-25
Excellent summary. Short bios all in one place. This book is very interesting and highly readable!

Book Description
At the height of China’s Cultural Revolution a powerful general fathered two sons. Tan was born to the general’s wife and into a life of comfort and luxury. His half brother, Shento, was born to the general’s mistress, who threw herself off a cliff in the mountains of Balan only moments after delivering her child. Growing up, each remained ignorant of the other’s existence. In Beijing, Tan enjoyed the best schools, the finest clothes, and the prettiest girls. Shento was raised on the mountainside by an old healer and his wife until their deaths landed him in an orphanage, where he was always hungry, alone, and frightened. Though on divergent roads, each brother is driven by a passionate desire—one to glorify his father, the other to seek revenge against him.
Separated by distance and opportunity, Tan and Shento follow the paths that lie before them, while unknowingly falling in love with the same woman and moving toward the explosive moment when their fates finally merge.
Brothers, by bestselling memoirist Da Chen, is a sprawling, dynamic family saga, complete with assassinations, love affairs, narrowly missed opportunities, and the ineluctable fulfillment of destiny.

Enthralling, loved it.......2007-09-18
I admit to being a bit deficient in the category of Chinese-inspired literature; however, this book pulled me in from the very beginning and I loved each of the characters. The epic plot is what makes the story worth writing - it does not in the least make it sophomoric or juvenile. I had to weigh in - the bad reviews on this one are completely unwarranted. I'm taking it to my Book Club this week.
Don't listen to the 1-star reviews........2007-06-20
This book was amazing and enthralling. I do not understand the criticisms depicting the book as "juvenile" and "sophmoric." First of all, the plot line is incredibly complex, reaching far beyond a child's book. I was completely absorbed into the story. I wanted to find a story which would capture me from my everyday life, and this did it. It is a work of fiction, and for my own interest in reading literature, I certainly do not hope it is predictable. Overall, this story is one showing how fate depicts our future, for the better or worse. I loved it. Truly, it is one of my favorite books, along with others that would NEVER be given the term "sophmoric."
Not worth buying.......2007-02-26
The concept is interesting; the execution is remarkably poor. Childish and overblown prose, combined with cliched dialogue, makes Brothers diffcult enough to read. When that's combined with a ridiculous story, with improbable coincidences and dangling plot threads, it's hard not to laugh outright as you're reading. I also found the theme of having the brother(Tan) who was raised in luxury also being the hero who could do no wrong a little annoying. So it's not possible for someone raised in poverty(Shento) to be a decent man? ALL of the characters were shallow caricatures, however, and I guess it's easier to make it extremely clear who's good and who's bad. Anyway, I did finish the whole mess, so Da Chen deserves that much credit. Pick it up at a library if you really must read a novel set in modern China.
Bad History, Worse Fiction.......2007-02-20
I can't remember the last time a novel disappointed me as thoroughly as "Brothers". I was almost willing to overlook the contrived characterizations and their lack of depth, but I couldn't get past the sloppy history. Mao actually had four wives, not three, and the notion that he was grooming a successor is ridiculous. Mao's only concern for China was staying in power, and he couldn't have been less concerned about what would happen after his death. To top it all off, Chen portrays Vietnam and China at war in 1972, when both were allies fending off the U.S. in Southeast Asia. China's falling out with Vietnam actually took place in 1979, as a result of Vietnamese attempts to expand into Cambodia. Serious errors like this made finishing "Brothers" impossible for me.
A Preposterous Fairy Tale of Post-Mao China.......2007-02-11
With his first novel BROTHERS, successful memoirist of the Cultural Revolution Da Chen not only fails to join the ranks of his Chinese literary brothers and sisters (Ha Jin, Ma Jian, Hong Ying, Su Tong, Dai Sijie, Gao Xingjian, Anchee Min, Yan Geling), he positively embarrasses both them and himself. Drawing upon every hackneyed and clichéd story line imaginable, Da Chen leans on wildly improbable plot devices and absurd coincidences to create a story that ostensibly mirrors the explosive awakening and growth of China since Mao's death and the end of the Cultural Revolution.
Two brothers are born of the same military commander father: Tan into the wealthy and powerful Long (translation - dragon) family in Beijing, and Shento out of wedlock to a young village woman who kills herself at the moment of her son's birth, improbably giving birth even as she jumps off a cliff. The half-brothers follow their separate, excessively extraordinary destinies, each rocketing upward through different sides of Chinese dynasty. Tan follows the path of the great Ming and Qing dynasty lions - scholarship, business, and cultivation (in this case, literary culture), while Shento (a curiously Japanese-sounding name) rises through the ranks of the military and government. Their paths are not entirely parallel, however, as they periodically and unknowingly intersect at two points, both having to do with women. In particular, they are both captured by love in the form of Sumi Wo, an orphan like Shento who, in addition to being portrayed as an equal to the famous historical Four Beauties of Chinese culture, soon reveals her own improbably amazing intellect and an even more unbelievable talent as a writer. Sumi Wo serves as the nexus of Tan's and Shento's fate, drawing them inevitably closer and closer to one another until they finally realize each other's interest in the same woman.
At this culmination of countless absurd plot manipulations and unlikely coincidences, the story devolves into a vengeful love triangle, even as both brothers' careers continue their meteoric rise. Without revealing the details, suffice to say that Shento's career path reaches patently ridiculous levels in a story line worthy of a teenaged fantasist. Not content to leave this silliness alone, Da Chen manages to insert his brotherly protagonists as principle players in the June, 1989 Tiananmen Square democracy movement and associated massacre. By the end of the book, Tan's elderly grandfather is reduced to sounding like an American high school kid while the two brothers have materialized enough multimillions to exist in astonishing physical comfort as they contemplate the mess they've left behind and the lives they've ruined. It's nothing more than comic book characters injected into a comic book version of post-Mao Chinese history.
The morals of this story are patently simple - the importance of family, the corrupting effects of absolute power, the power of love to blind, the virtues of democracy, sacrificing the self for a noble cause, and the redemptive power of returning to one's humble roots. Da Chen's writing is perfunctory at best and his character development and sense of place are superficial. He alludes to actual personages - Mao, Liu Shaoqi, and Ronald Reagan - but thinly disguises Deng Xiao Ping as Heng Tu. Additionally, he devises a peculiar mixture of Anglicized Chinese names, using modern pinyin for Beijing, Yangzhou, and Fujian but older style English transliteration for Qunming (Kunming) and the Ch'ing (Qing) Dynasty, and Liu Shao-ch'i (Liu Shaoqi).
This mix of Horatio Alger, Oliver Twist, Wuthering Heights, and The Prince and the Pauper might actually have worked in its own peculiarly escapist way. However, by inserting the story into the real context of Deng Xiao Ping (herein named Heng Tu) and the tragic internal discord of Tiananmen Square in 1986, BROTHERS becomes a farcical imposition on real events. There is nothing of sufficient note in Da Chen's writing ability, nor in his depiction of the awakening China, to compensate for the supreme inanity of this story line and set of main characters. In the final analysis, BROTHERS is little more than a fairy tale set in a fairy tale version of China. I give it a rating of 2 Stars more out of regard for the author's earlier memoirs (COLORS OF THE MOUNTAIN and SOUNDS OF THE RIVER) than out of the merits of this particular endeavor.
Book Description
Hailed as the greatest novel of the Mexican Revolution,
The Underdogs recounts the story of an illiterate but charismatic Indian peasant farmer’s part in the rebellion against Porfirio Díaz, and his subsequent loss of belief in the cause when the revolutionary alliance becomes factionalized. Azuela’s masterpiece is a timeless, authentic portrayal of peasant life, revolutionary zeal, and political disillusionment.

Scenes from a revolution.......2007-05-20
This novel, although mostly a series of vignettes with only the slightet of plot and character development, never the less delivers a harrowing descripton of the Mexican Revolution.
Revolutionaries or Bandits.......2006-09-24
Mariano Azuela's novel about a group of men fighting in the decade-long Mexican Revolution is a seminal work in Latin American literature. As the concluding essay notes, Azuela's ability to accurately depict all that is most surreal in reality was the starting point for more modern magical realist authors such as Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This is a stand-out novel written in a sparse, at times dreamlike style.
The Underdogs, or Los de Abajo, reveals Azuela's ambivalence about the Revolutionary movement. While it is clear that the men persecuting the hero, Demetrio Macias, are not the men one wants controlling the state, Azuela also doesn't hesitate to depict the revolutionaries themselves as bandits, stealing from the peasants they are supposed to defend. The conflict over whether the Mexican Revolutionaries were soldiers or bandits is one that may be found in history books. Azuela's semi-autobiographical novel doesn't offer an answer to that question, but it does provide what some of the most famous historical literature does not: a depiction of the hellishness of war. In that alone, it is a good companion reading to any nonfiction accounts of the Revolution.
Frederick Fornoff's translation is mostly well-done, though his decision not to keep in the dialect in which most of the characters speak is, in my opinion, a poor one. There was an enormous cultural divide between the average revolutionary and the Mexicans living in cities or haciendas. I feel that Azuela's original language reflected that divide. However, this edition is still worth buying, because the concluding essay on Azuela's place in Latin American and epic literature is both poignant and revealing. The Underdogs is a grand novel, for both literature and history buffs.
good book.......2006-03-15
book is excellente. I would recommend this acclaimed book for further study anytime. I appreciate the simplicity and outright insight in the time of a heartless revolution. Please pick this book up when you have the time.

Need to give it a chance..........2005-08-09
The translation or something about the way it was written made it a bit confusing at first, but once you "get" the "writing style" of the book, you will be glad you kept reading.
Devastating and Meaningless.......2005-04-08
THE UNDERDOGS may well be about the spirit of the Mexican people, as some other reviews have suggested, but its conclusions are quite different. Don't think this is some inspiring story of the noble masses and their unconquerable spirit!
Azuela was writing in response to previous romantic depictions of the Mexican revolution -- you know, Pancho Villa the poor heroic figure of the countryside. Many had argued -- and still are, as you can see from some of these other reviews -- that the revolution was a turning point and created a new, more modern mexico.
In response, Azuela skewered the revolution. His story has almost no dates or locations -- you won't learn anything about the historical facts, as the encyclopedia would define them, of the revolution from this book. What Azuela does depict are the people and their spirit -- but he does this in shockingly unflattering terms.
Much of the book is a parade of violent scene after violent scene. Houses are ransacked, artwork destroyed, people casually killed, women casually raped. For U.S. audiences today, the book might remind us of the film NATURAL BORN KILLERS in terms of its consistent violence with little morality attached.
Moreover, these are not revolutionaries with much of an idea what they are doing. Yes, they are the underdogs of the title. But the underdogs do not want a better state -- a better nation. They mock Cervantes, the intellectual among them. No, the underdogs want to be top dog -- to exploit just as those they replace.
This devastating message is the one the book leaves us: the revolution meant nothing, achieved nothing, and was nothing but Mexico's underdogs lashing out savagely.
It is an easy and enjoyable read, but it can leave you with a Nietzchean feeling that none of this matters...
-- Julian Darius
Book Description
The first one-volume survey of the American Revolution that is both objective and comprehensive, this outstanding narrative history traces the growth of a conflict that inexorably set the American colonies on the road to independence. Offering a spirited chronicle of the war itself -- the campaigns and strategies, the leaders on both sides, the problems of fielding and sustaining an army, and of maintaining morale -- Stokesbury also brings the reader to the Peace of Paris in 1783 and into the miltarily exhausted, financially ruined yet victorious United States as it emerged to create a workable national system.

Excellent introduction to the American War of Independence.......2005-10-18
This is a marvellous book which manages to keep the reader's interest throughout its length and is one of the best start points for anyone who wishes to learn more about the American War of Independence, without swimming in a sea of useless details. I read this book keeping Craig Symonds's ¨Battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution¨ on the other hand and I must say that these two works make the ideal pair for the beginner on the subject. Stokesbury's book may be short but this doesn't mean that it lacks analysis or criticism of the various strategies and tactics employed by the opponents- quite the contrary.
Dry, Factoid after Factoid.......2005-09-26
This book is exactly the type of book that has students across America saying "I hate history." If you are interested in personal storytelling, this is NOT the book for you. I had to read it for the Teaching American History Grant course work, otherwise I would have donated it to the "Gosh I just wasted $15 and ten hours of my life file (it's round...holds things like discarded napkins, etc.)"
Informative & Extremely Readable.......2002-07-01
If you are looking for a well written and informative one-volume account of the Revolutionary War then go no further. This book will probably not just meet your expectations but surpass them.
Good, short-and-to-the-point account of the Revolution..........2001-08-01
I thought this short history covered the Revolution very well. Most of these type books are very "textbook-ish", but Stokesbury manages to convey the essential history with some color and excitement that makes this stand out. Some details that aren't extensively covered in other more celebrated accounts are clearly told here along with the major stories. Also, and to my great surprise, the maps that are provided are plentiful and clearly anotated that the other more comprehensive accounts lack. I would recommend that anyone interested in the Revolution, but not intimate with all the details, read this book as an introduction.
Short, but at the expense of good flow........2001-01-04
I was able get a quick jump in my knowledge about the Revolution, but it took some work to navigate through this book. I found myself frequently flipping back to previous pages to figure out who he is talking about, where the action is taking place, or even what year it is! It's a bit like driving for many miles without seeing a speed limit sign...one is forced to guess. A reader would do the same amount of work by diving into a full-length, well-written account of this war. On the positive side, the author provides some interesting parallels between his topic and other situations in history, even by adding some humor. It helps to provide more flavor to the reading. He also provides alternatives to some of his assertions, which is the fair thing to do.

one of those books you can't put down.......2006-11-21
I picked this book up in the library one day because it reminded me of The Last of the Mohicans and ended up getting sucked in (and liking it much more than LOTM). I found the characters humanly flawed and lovable and their lives very interesting. Although some might find the relentless action tiring, I thought it was probably an accurate depiction of the hardships they faced. The fact that parts of the story aren't PC made it seem even more accurate to me (and I say this as someone of Irish heritage- a group that is not spared its discriminations in the book).
I highly recommend reading this book. You might not find it as endearing as I have, but I'm sure there will be something within the story you will like.
Great book - Great author! .......2006-09-15
I am a history buff who happens to also be a woman. Unlike the woman below, I did not find this book to be offensive; I actually thought Gilbert's attitude toward and treatment of his wife Lana was most likely better than the average man who lived at that time in history.
Walter D. Edmonds was an excellent and engaging author; I truly wish there were more like him. He grew up in the Mohawk Valley of New York, the setting of this book, and his knowledge of that area's history cannot be surpassed among people who lived in recent times. I personally thought this book was even better than the Leatherstocking series written by James Fenimore Cooper.
I *highly* recommend this book. I liked it even better than the movie, which starred a very young Henry Fonda.
like a miniseries.......2006-02-21
I liked the book. I was looking for a Last of the Mohicans type of book and I found it. Plan to read more like it.
I was suprised that people said it was historically accurate. Have to look into that.
A Hard Book To Like.......2004-06-01
The book is set in New York from the years 1776 to 1784. There's relentless action but after awhile it gets monotonous. The enemy attacks and burns everything, the colonists rebuild as best they can, the enemy comes back and burns everything. In between the menfolk march off for a couple of campaigns. Monotonous though the book is, I suppose this was how life really was back then.
But no matter how much action the book contains, it's hard to enjoy it when you absolutely hate the characters. I'm speaking specifically of the "hero" Gil Martin. I hated him with a passion and kept hoping that he would meet a gruesome end. If I had been his wife Lana I would have killed him long before now.
Bearing in mind the novel was written in the 1930's, don't expect any political correctness. The minorities are written in all their stereotypical splendor ("How!" "Yass'um mas'a") and the women are treated almost as poorly. Once in awhile a character would pop up that I found I could like but they only lasted a couple of pages. Overall I couldn't warm up to this book because of the annoying characters although I was able to develop a respect for the real life colonists and what it must have really been like for them just trying to survive season by season.
Interesting and well-written novel.......2003-01-17
This story of the Revolutionary War era settlers in the Mohawk River valley was excellent. Edmonds did considerable historical research and his characters come alive as he tells this tale of the conflict between the Tories who support the King and the farmers who are in favor of the revolt against England.
The story focuses on Gil and Lana Martin, two young settlers who work tirelessly to get a farm established in the valley.
Their hard work is repeatedly destroyed by the Destructives -- Tory and Indian raiders who burn the farms and crops and slaughter anyone who supports the Revolution. The farmer militias strike back at the Tories and their supporters and strike with equal savagery. As in Bosnia and Kosova, the conflict pits neighbor against neighbor.
The novel is about the people of the valley -- both the white settlers and to a lesser degree the Indians -- and their fight to survive in a very hostile environment. I found the story entertaining and I learned quite a bit about the people, the place, and the events that occurred there.
