[Palash Bansal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent intro for people not fully acquainted with the world history. Gives a brief outline of the modern history of the world from the 18th century - American war of independence - till the end of WWII.
The book is filled with typos and grammatical mistakes, which I hope the publisher will remove over the subsequent editions.
