This book is superbly written, and so much of it is based on real and true history. For this reason, I find that I'm getting upset for not having paid that close of attention in my Eastern and Central European history classes (references to Turkey, Hungary, Budapest, Istanbul, Romania, Transylvania, France, England, etc. etc. etc.!), to have a better understanding of the historical and political context. But aside from that small aspect, this book will suck you in from the first couple chapters.
