Book Reviews of Modern East Asia

Book Review: As a university textbook, this was useless
Summary: 2 Stars

This book covers somewhat modern Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese history.

I was required to read and use this textbook during an East Asian class in college. I did use the book for the class at the beginning, but after a while I determined that the content was poorly organized and poorly detailed. The book is probably more suitable for students who just like a supplemental textbook to savor their East Asian history needs. Maybe this opinion of the book was a result of my professor's course syllabus, but I believe that it is not very well written for mainstream use.
