Title: skip this, buy the other two
Review: Some of my objections are similar to those already noted, especially the lack of maps and the annoying fiction. I bought the three major books on the Varusschlacht (Murdoch and Wells in addition to this one), and Clunn is the most irritating. He's a mediocre writer at best, and the book has too much redundancy, contradiction, and error. The narrative, with its imagined dialogue, is incredibly annoying. If you consider just the archaeological story, the book is okay. But even that is too drawn out, and the discovery of the most sensational artifact - the face mask - is completely glossed over. He doesn't even credit the person who found it. I recommend the other two books in combination. Wells does the best job of providing a historical background, and provides a sufficient number of maps. Murdoch's book is best read after Wells. Clunn's book is a major disappointment.
