Just saw this book at a book store. Have not read any reviews yet. Would appreciate any input. Thanks.

According to the review by its publisher, this is a book about a "divisive" ruler. The choice of words alone mean to me that this is a book that takes a side. And it would not be the side I would choose. I've overshot my book budget for the month, so I am dependent upon others for a first hand opinion by a source other than its own publisher which is in the business of selling this particular book.
Being a Ricardian, I tend to prefer books that treat Richard as he should be treated, so the word "divisive" tends not to thrill me. Guess I will wait for more information. Thanks.
