Don't Be Fooled 
_100 Events_ turns out to be, sadly, a pretty shallow overview of world events. Readers anticipating a companion to, say, _The 100 Most Influential People_, will find themselves disappointed. To its credit, _100 Events_ does include a few events outside the canon of Western history –- the rule of Asoka, the destablization of Iran, and two or three others. But each of the top events that shaped our world is treated so lightly –- a single page, most of which is taken up by an illustration –- that one may well wonder what notice, if any, the author would give to the next 100.
