Title: Too Biased to Be Accurate
Product review: I borrowed this book from my library, hoping to learn something about the Puritans. Instead, I learned that Mr. Aronson believes the Puritans to be little better than the Taliban, and Charles I to be a well-intentioned ruler desperately trying to maintain peace within his country in spite of the "fire-breathing religious zealot[s]." Yes, he uses that phrase in narrative, and not in an ironic way, either.Mr. Aronson doesn't bother with the opinions of the Puritans. He doesn't consider that the "religious extremists" may have had a point in wanting to change the Church of England. Charles I would be very happy with this book; he would have turned it into a pamphlet warning his people about the big, bad Puritans.Please don't buy this book. Please don't borrow it from your library. The author doesn't deserve your support. Not for writing his opinion and calling it "history."
