No B.C.E. or C.E. 'history' books for me,
By VeritasAmo (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Wars - 3 Volume of Set (Fact on File Library of World History) (Hardcover)
No matter how well researched this encyclopaedia of war is, I will not buy anything that uses the silly BCE/CE time frame reference instead of the traditional BC/AD. The idea that the politically correct BCE/Ce somehow is more acceptable than the time honored BC/AD is ridiculous since it is based up the exact same reference point: just say it...gasp...the birth of Jesus in Nazareth. I know that makes most ivory tower academic heads spin and eyeballs bulge out, but I find their dissing of the importance of this event intellectually dishonest and cowardly. How can they profess to be experts on any subject of history when they deny the very history they are heirs to. How can I expect truthful analysis of any historical subject from such people? I'd be curious to see if they treat the war histories accurately, or if they reflect the anti-western bias of most so-called academics and college professors. Too bad...this really would have made a great Christmas gift for my two sons who love military history and who aren't ashamed to use BC/AD in their papers.
