A great general history book. I love reading this book. Not as easy to read as Kenneth C. Davis (who's a revisionist anyway) book, but more informative. Still, it's not a hard read.

First book I encountered that really made mention that the word "Democracy" isn't in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. The word Republic is!!! Our founders thought democracy was the worst form of government (they called it mobocracy) and rightfully so since it always slips into tyranny.
