4.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive book with interseting documents
This books is not a traditional textbook. The author tells you about a certain situation or topic than provides primary documents from various sources showing different sides to that situation (Reformation in the Provinces, Religion, Managing France, The Aristocracy, etc). It's nice to get the eyewitness accounts of the events instead of just having the author tell you...

This was a brand new book, that was printed and bound with missing chapters. If time allowed I would attempt to return, and get a complete copy, however, I am in the class currently that is using this book. This is the first time I have really had any problems, but it definitely caught me off guard.

Beik is a first rank historian. I found this book very useful in my research.
