1: DISSAPPOINTING NARRATION OF HISTORICAL EVENTS
This book contains a thorough summary of historical events to date. However, it does not contain any substantial information about the different stages of the country itself, its adventures or misadventures in the hands of different rulers and also its present political situation. The book commences promising, however this promise is diluted by the incesant narration of events without any linkage to the different stages in the life of the country. Also, the lack of historical and/or comparative maps leaves the reader wondering about the increased or decreased size of the country during different periods or under different rulers. After reading the book I still have to refer to my Atlas to identify the current boundaries of Luxembourg.
