[Todd Stockslager · Rating 4 out of 5]

I detest Dan Rather and his editorializing in the introduction and epilogue of this book, which in the original would rate 5-star rating. He ruins this edited edition (six volumes down to one) with his written words, and I suspicion, with his mindless incompetence at the task of editing.

I would recommend finding the full six volumes and reading them before taking on this book again.

[Harlan Prine · Rating 1 out of 5]

In a brief review of the book, I decided it was garbage. Dan rather disses Henry Ford. One sentence on the influenza that killed more than the Great War. Also not much on relgion. My hope is that with a book on 2000 to 2025, that folks would leave out the miserable names of players. Typical journalist. name dropping and failing to provide the bigger picture in a historical context. We don't need narratives we need to cast blame.
