Title: What a disappointment!
Product review: I'm truly sorry to have spent as much as I did on this book. It does contain quite a lot of information, yes, but it's organized so poorly and written in such awkward prose that its impact is severely diminished. I was particularly annoyed that a medievalist of such reputation didn't do a little more research on the "Ring around a rosy" rhyme, but confidently states the old myth about its origins as fact. ....In short,I'd say that you're much better off rereading Tuchman than buying this book, unless you collect interesting jacket art.
