Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-03 00:00:00 Thomas Wanous Ok if you are are reader that enjoys reading encyclopedias. The work first contains a timeline of Japanese American history. Then if lists, by alphabet, important people, things, and events relevent to that history. I felt it had too many omissions, especially those who contributed significantly to the arts, science, technology, and medicine.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-07-04 00:00:00 Jason Anderson This book is astounding! Like others, I suspect, I thought I had some decent grasp on the story of the conquest of the Aztecs by Cortés and his conquistadores. I was aware of the Aztec belief that a white god was returning in the very year that Cortés showed up, a belief that attenuated their response to his advent. And the fact that they were overawed by the horses and hardware. All that stuff. The truth, I found, was that I hadn't a clue until I read this splendid history. It is an utterly fascinating, nearly unbelievable story told in an admirable style. Published in 1843, William H. Prescott's style takes a little getting used to. One is soon in the swing of it, however, and soon after that one begins to relish it.
