zaggeta's review against another edition
5.0
A decent and quick introduction to the concept of empires throughout history. It does get weaker near the end though. And does have a single factual error which I noticed due to how bizarre it is. The author claims that there are indigenous people in Antarctica. For the life of me, I cannot find any records of any. All data states that there are none.
Otherwise, a good introduction for beginners wanting to understand empires in general.

Feels dumb to complain about the limited scope and perspective of a book like this so...

Kind of boring and sometimes you need to reread a passage several times to really get it to sink in.
