## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A Great Read Before Traveling to Belize
  

*by W***. on Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2013*

I purchased this book for my brother before his recent trip to Belize. When I received it I glanced at it to make sure that it would be useful to him. I actually found myself becoming interested in Belize from the small portions I read and I've been meaning to borrow it back from him. But anyways, my brother started the book before he left and he finished it on the plane to Belize. He found the book fascinating and said that it really enhanced his trip because he had so much more background on the country and culture. From what we'd seen online, the internet is filled with pieces of Belize culture and history, but this seems to be the best at bringing it all together. I'd definitely recommend it if you're going to be visiting Belize and want to improve your experience.

    Great Historically, maybe not on more recent political changes.
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015*

A good broad explanation of Belize and the path it took to independence.  The writer is sometimes disjointed in the way the book is laid out.  As an expat I found that the opinions on the politics are just opinions.  While the service of George Price was invaluable to Independence, the author spends most of his writing focusing on the old and more liberal PUP party and doesn't give enough information on the UDP and new VIP parties.Overall, if you are looking for information about the early days of Belize and the conflict with Guatemala and the domination by Great Britain then this book is for you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Best book for background on a lovely place.
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016*

Great historical view of the place I am now about to move to.  Have been there 4 times since I read it and helps with the background.  Love this place and love this book.
