A great reference of events that took place during that time, and what an exciting time it was! I took away a star because the wealth of information conveyed seemed confusing in certain places. When explaining one particular event, the author often refers to a number of others which almost seem like he's going off on tangents - it's hard sharing history without going off topic at times, but it's these aside stories that really make the main topic come to life for me. It was just a bit difficult for me to keep track of it all which forced me to reread certain passages more than once. Overall, an enjoyable read.
