Reviews

The large print made this book very easy to read. Kudos to the author for this consideration. History really comes alive here. I thoroughly enjoyed this book for both the history - a lot of which I had previously known little about - and the way it was written. You feel like you're sitting across from a friend listening to his adventures. I passed the book on to my wife and she really liked it too. Highly recommend. (Wd Moore)
