Title: A Book in Fragments
Product review: As a prolific reader of history, I found this book to be a tremendous diappointment. There is no coherence to this project. It is pieces of history and the same oft-quoted statistics slapped together - a poor condensation of Keegan's various books, Ferguson's The Pity of War and Kershaw's Hitler. Read any of these, but not Vinen's. Yes history is messy, but writing about it shouldn't be.
