Customer Reviews

It makes me embarrassed to be English.

A liveley narrative with a knowledgable insight into a way of life destroyed by English arrogance and ignorance. I didn't know this part of history before reading the book and it has inspired me to read further. Few liberties appear to have been taken to make people any more heroic or cowardly than they might have been in real life.
