This saved my ass and made teaching the unit a whole lot easier. The summaries are great as well as the footnotes and explanations.

However, some of the discussion questions are just absolutely useless. Questions along the lines of "Did you ever witness somebody getting killed"...not a question you'd ask in class like wth. Furthermore, some of them were quite USA-centric.
