Alas, I thought I finally found an unbiased account of the history of the city where I could learn without propaganda, but no. Some of the language added to this is pure personal opinion and not a recount of fact, e.g. saying someone said something in a ‘patronising tone’. That is attempting to sway an audience. Disappointing from an author and historian.

Saying that, I still learned a lot about the history and appreciated that the research dates so far back in time.
