Title: Too biased against men
Review: Although I found the descriptive prose to be very entertaining and informative for the settings and places, the same was not true for the characters and action. All men in this book are portrayed as egomaniacal tyrants, drunken fools, silly sycophants or chronic complainers. The women, on the other hand, are portrayed as clear-thinking, purposeful and virtuous victims of the men's excessively flawed personalities. I found it hard to believe that an army would follow any of these men despite documented history to the contrary. Additionally, I found descriptions of battles and major military engagements to be virtually non-existent. Perhaps the author considered actual events to be unimportant when compared to the need for further analysis of poor little Cleopatra's thoughts on her trials and tribulations.
