Title: Sure OK, it wasn't SO bad,,,, as long as you weren't a Jew
Review: I really felt this work was seeking to validate the author's personal opinions. We must remember that this is one man's viewpoint. And again, he was not there. The book seemed to me to try too hard to minimize the facts, and put them into some kind of "author's personal perspective". It reminded me of books I've read trying to downplay the Holocaust, diminishing the number of innocents killed. Does any of it really diminish the power of the Inquisition? Even if it was fear and power, people still were tortured and died. I just felt there was too much self-promotion of the author's lifelong views in the book.
Is the review positive or negative?
