レビュー
-
A book to avoid.
So hagiographic as to be unreadable.
-
interesting
I felt this was more of a eulogy than a whole account of the man. I understand that it was commissioned and that the author would not hae bee free to write of the less salubrious aspects of the man but as King he came out very well.
