Has anyone here read pic related? Is it a good primer on the span of world history? Or would I be better off going for a list of books to cover it all?
I don't know about the book but I can vouch for Odd Arne Westad as a historian.
I have read his books on the cold war and they were top notch stuff.

I am just finishing up his history of Europe. Very good stuff

Yes I agree on this. In terms of a primer it is quite good. I also recommend The Age of Extremes by Hobsbawm and The World Since 1945 by Vadney. Also as a text that guides history studies, Mastering History series by Norman Lowe is also great!
