Title: Surreal History
Review: After reading this book, especially on the Battle of Teutoburgerwald (AD 9), I was puzzled as to why it was considered a classic. Apparently, I am not alone in this opinion -- W. S. Gilbert mocked the book in Major General Stanley's patter song in the Pirates of Penzance. Schooled in the Edward Gibbon type of history, the author twists facts and interpretation to glorify the Anglo-Saxon "race." While this can be taken with a grain of salt and used to generate a chuckle or two, its value as serious history is overrated. Because of its definite bias, while the book should not be avoided, it also should not be used as an introduction to the subject, nor, especially, as the student's sole exposure to military history.
