The Handy History Answer Book- Second Edition

All things must pass. In an understatement of historic proportions, quite a few things have passed since the end of the last millennium, when The Handy History Answer Book was first released. A new era has taken shape, and a fully-revised edition of The Handy History Answer Book records it with more than 150 new questions and answers that expand on the more than 1,000 covering past millennia. A concise guide to all things historical, Handy History addresses people, times, and events in a wide-ranging and comprehensive manner, complemented by more than 125 illustrations and, for those who like their history instant, a chronology of major events.
