A boring dry readBy thomasw333A boring dry read. But I am no author so I am not saying I can do better. But I read a lot of books; and have read a few history books; this is one of my least favorites. Of course I did not buy this book for fun; I had to get it for a class.Positives: It is dense with rea information good if you want real concrete numbers.
