Book Reviews of The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square
Book Review: Wow!
Summary: 5 Stars
Sublette has done an amazing job pulling together political, cultural and social elements into a very compelling narrative. And super-informative too. Extremely impressive historical writing (and this is coming from a history major).
I LOVE how international and broad the perspective is. He really illuminates the dynamics of the time in a fantastic and vivid way.
It's seriously among the most readable and thorough books I've read.
