Having read quite a bit about Mao Zedong in the past few months, I was interested in how Hourly History would treat the subject. I was pleased to read a clear narrative about an important communist leader's life. What I really liked was the fact that Chairman Mao remained the focus of the book. The writing style was clear and informative, without bogging down in extraneous details.

The reasons for Pearl Harbor's attack were well-defined. I also appreciated the clarity of the causes of the Korean War and the aftermath. The book was interesting and a quick read.
