One of the most vapid biographies I’ve ever read. Reads like a bad fanfiction. No real depth to the narrative, just a string of successes with little to no obstacles or analysis of the figure in question. If that’s true to life, then that’s fine, but with a figure like Garibaldi, such a telling just rings as false.
