David Wallechinsky holds a special place in my heart because he is an author who makes both well known and obscure history interesting. People's Almanac III, the final piece of the PA trilogy, is another book, along with The Book of Lists series, that is enjoyable and interesting. By the time this book came out it appeared that the authors were starting to rehash some of the material that was featured in the two earlier books of the series. I nevertheless consider this book well worth the money and a good read. Mr. Wallechinsky's interest and research pertaining to history, and the effort he made producing these books, was appreciated by me, and on behalf of those who read all three books, I would like to offer my gratitude. Anyone who has the desire to impress their friends as being an intellectual would be well served by reading these three books, as they serve as a crash course in history while being entertaining as well. Producing these is an achievement in which Mr. Wallechinsky and his associates can take great pride.
