Extremely informative, each of the writers chose a lesser-known topic to write about which was refreshing. Having 90+ writers made each chapter feel fresh, which really helped the pacing issues that history books seem to struggle with. Despite having so many writers and covering such a wide timeline, each chapter connected surprisingly well. Just in awe of the scope of this project and how well it came together.
