This review is from: Taking Sides Clashing Views on Controversial Issues in World History, Vol. 1 (Paperback)

These topics are charged though a bit distance for many students; but more importantly the articles which argue two sides of each topic demonstrate some of the historical approaches to any subject. The articles are relatively easy to understand but instructors may wish to use multiple pairs to explore various steps in the historical process. I use it in my "Learning Strategies of College History" course at Indiana University.
