Negative Positive
Title: Supurb storytelling and good, sound history
Review: I read a brief serialization of The Winds when it was first published, and have only recently read the whole thing. What a marvelous work! I've read enough military history to know that this is accurate stuff, but far more than that it's insightful and well integrated into a whole, complex, riviting pattern. One of the finest of all books on the war, fiction or non! The naval personalities are clearly drawn from real people also. I recognize bits and pieces of several.
Is the review positive or negative?
