Title: The Goulash History for the Casual Light Reader Brigade
Review: The author's writes well. However, he is not a second Professor A.J.P. Taylor. He seems not to be a scholar at all. He had collected varied and interesting information from sources which he quotes freely, if indifferently. This book may well be of interest to those who desire only something interesting to read, which leads them down many dissimilar roads with no particular destination in mind. The suppositions the author does make about some aspects of the Crimean War will find detractors among historians of merit who have studied this conflict in its historical context of Europe, Anatolia, and the Levant.It is interesting, but not very informative to serious students of history.
