Despite the usual White supremacist implication that Western civilization is all of Mankind, this is a superlative history book for children that is about as objectively-written as it is possible for such a book to be. An excellent primer for the enquiring mind that offers a broad overview of world history that yet does not focus too obsessively on Western history - as these things often tend to do.
Informed by a genuine desire to understand where one came from, it would have satisfied this in the eager young minds it was intended for as well as developing a taste for further enquiry. The only pity is that it was never updated for a post Second World-War audience and has thus lost some of its contemporary relevance.
