Review title: Unreadable junk
Product review: I was his biggest fan. But what happened to the author of Citizens, Landscape and Memory, An Embarrassment of Riches? Apparently he has turned into a lazy, arrogant, and smug hack. This book is horrendous. It is Great Men of History of the crassest order - it's not just that his absurd attempts to rehabilitate Cromwell based on a discredited historian fall flat, it's that he has no time for anyone outside the ruling classes. Worst of all, Schama seems content to have let other people do his research and then take potshots and speculate from the sidelines of his own book. This is trash and a disgrace to a formerly brilliant historian and author.
