In general, the author does a good job of explaining important historical debates in an understandable way, such as what did and did not make the Holocaust distinct. The discussions are not always nuanced, but this is necessary to keep the chapters short and the level is pitched well for an introductory undergraduate course. ![]() There are a few exceptions there is very little on the UN and NATO in the postwar period, for example. It covers well all of the topics and concepts I will discuss in this broad course and it will provide my students with the background they need. I will be using this textbook for my Western Civilizations II course and I am very grateful to the author for writing it and making it available as an OER.
