Book Reviews of The History of the Ancient World: From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome
Book Review: Compelling writing with editing problems
Summary: 3 Stars
I will be using this work as a history text for my homeschooled 10th grader. Over the summer I reviewed this work, prepared study questions, and other assignments. The writing is compelling and exciting. The editing and fact-checking is not good. I did not get past the first section, The Edge of History, without finding date discrepancies and an incorrect river directional flow. I am not mentioning other problems found in subsequent sections.
Even if these problems were originally written by the author, it was the editor's responsibility to catch them. Since I get one set of stars to choose from I will be selecting three overall. I would prefer to give the author five and the editor zero. Zero because this is a history and accuracy, when available, is vital.
