The first half of the book was a "2." I found the book confusing and learned more from this site: http://www.mysteriousetruscans.com/hi...
From the name of the site, I thought at first it would be an "aliens in Italy" site. ;-)
The second half of the book was clearer though I found his "summary" of the whole history strange--if he had been that concise and clear elsewhere, 1) there wouldn't have been a book, just an article and 2) well, see 1).
