I'm a terrible reader of history. I perk up when something novelistic crops up--not even anecdotes, just, a letter that says to kill the bearer, or the grisly slo-mo comedy of hostile rampart construction duel, but otherwise, the slew of names and the hardnosed insights wash over me and past. I wish this book were not timely.
