Customer Reviews

A indepth and rich text.

This book is essentially an acaedemic text, but it is written with great knowledge, narrative and empathy for it's subject matter. So much so that it is not at all the chore that would usually be the remit of acaedemic works. There is, as with all such texts, no need to read it cover to cover. But each chapter has narratives which is so engaging as to tell the facts, the emotions and the bare tragic bones of each story. It is a brilliant historical catalogue of a much ignored and now largely forgotten people, of great use to students of all ages. Equally a very engaging social read.
