It’s a easy read, Filled with facts & the author was sure to write i. Small notes at the bottom , Of any discrepancies & fact check just about everything.
It is one of my favorite books &I have bought it new twice ( bc of lending out etc)
And I have re-read the book numerous times, As in once every year or 1.5 years!
