Title: Cheap history
Product review: I have to agree with the other (negative) reviews of this book. I was highly disappointed with the complete and utter lack of scholarship within the book, the numerous factual mistakes, and in particular, Cantor's axe-grinding against the undemocratic actions of 14th century monarchs. This is not the place for Professor Cantor to wax lyrical about our enlightened democracy, or to opine about the British monarchy of today as symptomatic of the degraded, arrogant culture of Europe in general. If he wanted to write a book about such things, publish it as an opinion piece, not falsely wrapped as a historical study.
