He also wrote from his experiences during the war and specialized in detailing operations within the secret services. A unique characteristic of many of his books is that chapters contain two parts. Firstly, he describes details and contemporary quoted sources and then, in the second part, he provides analysis and own commentaries to those events. According to critics, this results in a very objective presentation of the material. In addition to his well-known history books, he also wrote books about treasure hunting.

PIEPRZONA BIBLIA, DLA DRUGOWOJNIARZY.
Co prawda nie przeczytałem całej, ale książka ma to do siebie, że można czytać ją wyrywkami, na temat bitew czy traktatów które akurat nas interesują. Ciekawa jest również sama historia autora, który książkę musiał wydawać w Anglii.
Jedyne co, to brakuje mi czasem rozwinięcia poszczególnych tematów, jednak i bez tego książka ma ponad 1000 stron, dlatego po części rozumiem dlaczego autor nie zawsze rozwijał wątki.
