Title: Dreary history!
Review: This book is filled with a myriad of the strangest named places (often unpronouncable and given two, or three, different regional alternatives), enough historical dates to utterly confuse, peoples, tribes, etc. & a cast of characters larger than any epic. it is a totally confusing work that surely can only be enjoyed by a expert in this field.I am amazed that none of the other reviewers here thought fit to make the point that this book is for the serious student of history. No complaints about the expertise of the author, this is a solid, extremely well researched, history text book. I repeat... a textbook.Warning: if you are reading for enjoyment then please dwell no longer in these pages!
