Title: Famously bad
Review: This book is worth reading. Luckily there are some copies available for about ten cents. It's worth reading because, like Michael Bellesisles' "Arming America", it has become famous for just how bad and shoddy and disreputable it is. Manchester tossed this off during a rest break he took while writing his big multi volume work on Churchill - this long, eloquent insult of the medieval mind. Medieval Europe produced arts, letters, and architecture of breathtaking beauty and sophistication - things that leave us mute with admiration to this day. We could still learn a great deal from the builders of cathedrals and the illuminators of manuscripts.
