Customer Reviews

A scholarly work.

This work is impeccably footnoted,with an extremely detailed bibliography. It can be utilized fully for historical reference. It is also well-written, entertaining and insightful. And the subject matter tells a story as epic as I ever read. It is a story bigger than the man himself, because it takes in World War I, the taming of a continent, and the flow of history itself. I came here looking for the next volume...did Mr. Marcus ever write it?
