Rosenstone, California Institute of Technology "Popkin's voice is clear, resolute, and compelling, taking us on a journey through historical trends from the vantage of the storyteller.

Enticing enough book
It’s a good enough book to teach me new things and not bore me too much. It’s one of my required books for class and it helps me learn more about the discipline and field of history.
