Oh Boy, this book is heck of an encyclopedia of world history... I can't say a must read, but you won't regret buying it or reading it... you can relate some hit movies based on history or wars like Pearl Harbour, Munich, Little Boy and many many more... everything... every-single-fucking thing is so nicely illustrated by the author, you will start loving history like anything.... price is little higher compared to the other ones... but so is the content mere bhai.... this is a bit bulky book of exactly 700 pages... but you can complete it in 45-60 days reading an hour a day...knowledge seekers can read it chapter wise... civil service aspirants may need to read selective chapters... but I don't think a civil service aspirant will leave any chapter... because every content is so deliberately meant to steal your attention...... read it... read it.. read it.... best of luck for June 18... 😀😀
