Deciding between two books on the history of Zen

Hey, so I'm deciding between two books on the history of Zen Buddhism. The first is "History of Zen Buddhism" by Heinrich Dumoulin (not the two volume version, but a single volume). The other is "The Circle of the Way" by Barbara O'Brien. The Dumoulin book is about a hundred pages longer so I'm expecting it to be more detailed, however the O'Brien book is much more modern. I can't really find many online reviews on Dumoulin's book, so I'm wondering if anyone has read either or both and can point me in a direction.
