Summary: good info; bad presentation
Review: This book has some great historical info. Unfortunately it is very hard to get through as it is poorly written. Shame on the proofreaders.

Review: This could have been a 5 star book. The book is packed with very interesting and well documented information. However, the book is riddled with errors. I found so many spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors that the book was actually painful to read. I could not read 2 pages without finding a word missing from a sentence. I can only assume that the book was not edited before publication. Without these problems, this book would have been great!
