  Poor selections, no value When it says "Major Battles", it's actually Major Battles of American related history, the last 1/4 of battles are all in civil war era. And from 1200 onward, all major battles throughout history happened in America...
  
  Another issue is, most articles have only an introduction in the email, you have to click through the links to read the main content, and some of them are very long, you need to spare much more time on it.
  
  So, if you want to read things about battles of world history, i suggest you find a real book or somewhere else online. Or, you can find some other books in Dailylit, as long as they are not "Wikipedia Tour"... I posted this on 05 February 2009
