This book has been well researched. I enjoyed the writing style with the exception of too much repetition of the same information. There is a great deal of historical information, but it seems to be padded by repeating the same facts, whether the author feels the reader has missed an important point, or the book was too slender it became a bit intrusive to the flow. Though quite interesting, each repetition served to stop this reader and make me wonder why the author felt I had to read the same material over again.
