Title: Truly enlightening
Review: This is really a delightful book. It's not exactly your basic biography, though. It gives the standard details of each person's life, then rounds out the story using actual contemporary accounts of events. Think of it as the 'color commentary' that would go along with a standard biography. I read it simultaneously with "The Lives of the Kings and Queens of France" by Duc de Castries and thoroughly enjoyed the added dimension this book brought to the experience. A great collector's item, too.
