Title: Badly written, fails to deliver.
Review: The writing was awful. The book was unintelligible unless you were already extremely well-versed on the subject: the exact opposite of what a primer like this should be. Turnbull spent the pages coming up with clever turns of phrase that sacrifice history for cleverness, when he should have been delivering clear, concise, helpful information.Dear Mr. Turnbull: Good writing does not have to be witty. Please just write a good book with lots of information that makes sense, like you used to do.
