" The author is obviously biased, but at various points in the book it's difficult to tell exactly which side his bias is on. His use of loaded terms like 'heathen' is a bit odd at first, as are the chapters filled with meticulous detail, which then end with the disclaimer that the historical record for this given time period is patchy at best. For the most part, a very entertaining and informative read, but the scholarship seems a bit suspect. "
