Title: Dry and Dull Perspective
Product review: What makes good history writers versus dull (bad) history writers is the ability to, through the written word, effectively communicate the writer's perspective, while at the same time entertaining the reader. Chadwick crams a lot of information but a lot of information does not necessarily make for a very enjoyable read. The author's plodding writing style, repeating of the same ideas, and the need to present as much detail information as possible is a book more along the lines of a PHD thesis. Even the chapters are broken into subchapters, as though the author were addressing a university facility group or class, as opposed to the general reader.Stay away from this book. Read Leckie's Washington's War; an accurate, detailed, and at the same time enjoyable read.
