Top reviews from the United States

  • Why no download sample?
    Book looks interesting, but can't tell without a sample download button. Ebooks without a sample do not make sense.
  • A masterful and timely history
    A necessary history that ties together two kings of their time and deftly illustrates the ways in which the mighty get turned into pawns by the powerful.
