This major work has the touches of luxury you expect in books of this magnitude, including a ribbon place-marker and embossed foil-stamped jacket. Large 8-1/2" x 11" "coffee-table" format. Beautifully written and illustrated, it is accurate and incisive, yet personal and passionate. It is informative, provocative, and inspiring. Seldom is must reading so enjoyable.

Worked on this Trilogy weekly for years with a couple of friends of mine. We took turns reading LOL, and had lots of interesting discussions about it. Unfortunately, due to my injury, I've only been able to listen primarily to the third book. We are in the process of doing the fourth one as well

I don’t remember exactly when I read it. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first book in the series. Was getting very name-y and date-y and place-y, which I guess makes sense because it is a history book. I don’t know what rating to give it though. I guess 3 stars?

Always well written. Always a bastion of integrity and objective analysis.
