A solid and well-researched book, but not exactly a page-turner. It’s definitely more for academics and serious students of history.

A mixed bag. Some chapters were truly captivating, while others felt bogged down in detail. Overall, a decent but not exceptional read.

I found the book to be somewhat repetitive. Some points were belabored, and the writing style was not always engaging. Worth it if deeply interested.

While informative, the book lacks a certain narrative drive. It felt more like a collection of essays than a cohesive story. Still, valuable insights.
