This book gets 5 stars for the research alone. The sheer volume of contributors is amazing. I learned so very much from this book. I am eternally grateful for everyone who put this book together to teach me the history I should have gotten in school but did not. I hope to pay it forward, teaching others and changing hearts and minds that also don’t know or have this information. It’s fantastic. Highly recommend.
