Title: Factual, but uninteresting
Review: This book is thoroughly researched but bone dry. This book is for you if you want a list of facts: this happened, then this happened, then this happened....What this book doesn't do is to make an interesting story out of the history. The book doesn't discuss why certain things happened or the motivations of actors to do what they did. The book doesn't touch upon the consequences of the decisions that were made. In short, this book gives the "what" but not the "why" or "how" that would transform the book from a list of events into a narrative.
Is the review positive or negative?
