Deal Details
PRH UK via Amazon has The Penguin History of the World: 6th Edition (Kindle eBook) by J M Roberts & Odd Arne Westad for $0.99.

Thanks to Deal Editor powerfuldoppler for finding this deal.

About this book:
  • This is a completely new and updated edition of J. M. Roberts and Odd Arne Westad's widely acclaimed, landmark bestseller The Penguin History of the World.
  • For generations of readers The Penguin History of the World has been one of the great cultural experiences - the entire story of human endeavour laid out in all its grandeur and folly, drama and pain in a single authoritative book. Now, for the first time, it has been completely overhauled for its 6th edition - not just bringing it up to date, but revising it throughout in the light of new research and discoveries, such as the revolution in our understanding of many civilizations in the Ancient World. The closing sections of the book reflect what now seems to be the inexorable rise of Asia and the increasingly troubled situation in the West.

Revised to shit talk America. No thanks.
We deserve it! It's embarrassing to be a country led by incompetence and malignancy where the only criteria for actions are if it will make others angry.

Just goes to show that most of the history Americans consume is just propaganda.

Unfortunately, in today's world most people learned history from memes. Brainwashed through mainstream media propaganda. If the USA is such a bad country why don't people just leave? Especially those Americans who hate America and have means to leave.

Why should I have to leave my country? Why can't we just stop making it worse?

Post-merger, this should be the Penguin Random House History of the World."Kowalski! Walk into..." (spins around and points) "...*that* four-bedroom colonial and ask what they know about the Pax Mongolia."

I respectfully acknowledge the differing viewpoint stated, but dislike personal attacks on this forum. Does anyone have a comment on this book?

Our population is about to decline for the first time in history, so it seems they are leaving.

If I open in incognito, I see 0.99 but from my account (even if I copy/paste the URL) I see $9.91, sucks when Amazon does that.

Definitely not a tome for those deeply committed to backwardness and boneheadeness.

Thank you. I will leave. And nuke it from orbit. (It's the only way to be sure).
