"Best travel series of the year... The best tourists are well-informed tourists... To be familiar with a country's history at a relatively deep level only enhances the tourist experience. To that end the titles in the Traveller's History Series offer sprightly and accurate historical portraits of countries and regions that are often tourist destinations... It cannot be stressed enough that the more prepared the tourist is, the better the trip will be." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Product Description
