*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017*

This book is informative but the writing needs work.  There is something off about the sentence structure and it makes the book hard to follow.  It reminds me a little of when I read college essays where the person is trying to rearrange the words to avoid plagiarism (still plagiarism by the way).  I can't explain it exactly... the writing is just off.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A great reference for the novice
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in France on April 17, 2020*

I think that this might be the most synthetic book possible on a subject that covers such a huge area and period of time (from prehistory to modern times). It really gives a nice overview on the topic for the novice and does not require any prior knowledge on the subject. It is a bit difficult to remember all the details that are mentioned, especially in the most recent periods, but I think that it is a good reference book. The writing is ok: for instance it is difficult to tell 50 years of History for a bunch of islands in a few pages without making it feel like a list of events, and the author manages that quite well.My only concern about this book is with regard to the unbalanced perspective on the colonial powers: the author considers that the French have never done anything right, whereas the British and other Commonwealth powers are presented in a much more flattering light. For instance, the blackbirding is not even called by its name, only mentioned in two lines and almost presented as a holiday for the islanders, instead of a substitute to slavery... As a novice to the subject, I can't judge the accuracy of those depictions, but I find them extremely suspicious.Yet, I really recommend this book, as it is the best short book on the subject that I have been able to find.
