It is clear and precise with sufficient facts to illustrate the themes and it does not push politically correct points of view as so many of its rivals try to do. Yet it has a solid political basis. The organization is generally good and the scholarship generally adequate for a work at this level and this breadth. Even students lacking preparation as so many do today, if they are diligent and are not overburdened with family problems or work can master the information. I recommend it highly and will continue to use it while teaching this course., The text doesn't stray from the topic.

As history is cause and effect, the text is effective in presenting perspectives and guiding the reader along a critical thinking path., I would say the Cannistraro book is the best all-around text on the market. It is especially good on the cultural and social aspects, but gives the other aspects its due weight. What I have noticed is that the students read it.
