I was unimpressed with the book. The book is divided into sections for each state with very factual details of how each border was formed. As a result of its layout some of the sections are repetitive, with the same information often presented in two or more states. What is missing, however, is the human element of the story. There is no detail about skirmishes, no information on backroom fights or compromises, and no intereste side stories to give the book life. It is a true reference book, fitting in well between my world atlas and dictionary.
