history, Tucker's reference work belongs in large public, high

*Booklist*
Each conflict is divided into: the causes, the course, and the
consequences. Sections also include a timeline, further readings,
occasional maps or illustrations, and tables denoting battles and
various information. All of these parts, taken as a whole, provide
both the novice and the expert a wonderful resource.
*ARBA*
Conflicts such as these are far too often overlooked or lumped into
specific wars, and rarely get attention in such stand-alone
fashion. . . . Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries.
