Negative Positive
Title: moderately interesting
Review: A pleasent bit of fluff. seriously marred by the authors 'moral' interjections about those nasty old soldiers or duelists. Note to author: real historians know better (or they should) than to overlay their perjudices, bigotry and moralistic values on another age. :)a pleasant read, but don't pay full price.Try:The Gun and its Development: Ninth Editionby W.
