Good brief information on historical figures. I agree with
2005-06-08 - the above contributor...this author covered leaders of major religions except Jesus Christ. The oversight seems intentional since he covered the others. I'd like to see him revise the book to include Jesus and a few other historical figures. If you are looking for indept information, this is not your book. If you are looking for a quick overview with main facts, this may be the book for you.

Makers of World History
2000-01-05 - This book was very interesting. There is a lot of good brief information on historic figures. However I rate this a three because Sowards some how managed to leave out one of the most important figures of all time; Jesus Christ. Sowards managed to include the founders of every major religion, except Christianity. Whether Sowards believes in Jesus as the Son of god or not shouldn't of mattered. The fact is that Jesus Christ is a historical figure and had a great impact on the world.
