"The Hundred Years"

The Hundred Years (Philip Guedalla)

A weird old history book (publication date 1936) covering the titular hundred years since the ascension of Queen Victoria. The book has an interesting structure where the author picks a year and then pops in on various places describing what's happening at the time. Unfortunately, I only made it about 93 pages into this book before bailing, when the author states that the Civil War was not inevitable. Frankly, I don't know where the hell the author got this idea, and disagreeing with this insane notion called everything else the author wrote into question. Shucks...

Grade: :/
