Negative Positive
Title: A good, fun informative history.
Review: The author consciously attempted to write a book in the style of Tuchman's "A Distant Mirror" and was 80% successful. That still makes it a very good book and the reader has quite a bit of fun while learning about the bizarre civil war in 15th century England. Why only 80%? Because instead of following ONE person (a la Tuchman) he follows FIVE and that gets a bit confusing for the casual reader and leads to some discontinuities in the history. Still -- buy it and enjoy!
