RaveNBThe amount of research that has gone into this account is thoroughly impressive, captured most brilliantly in a concise manner, with salient explanations achieved by referring to the accounts and publications from the time ... an engaging and absorbing read ... This book reads as easy as fiction itself ... Given the size of the book and the hours’ worth of reading involved, it was never a chore and always a pleasure. Such an engaging account is a credit in itself and if you have any interest in this time period but maybe wouldn’t usually read non-fiction, I would urge you to give it a go, as I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
