Great story!

I felt like I was right there. Very realistic and well written! Every historian will love this book!

HATE Virtual Voice....

Which not only detracts from the story telling, but lends a cheep patina to the author's efforts. Pure commercialism. That said, this is a rather mediocre, even poor...dramatization?...of real events and people...both of which were more interesting than this book. Neither good history nor a good story. But at least it was free.
