cool - tnx for the review smile emoticon I like a bit of
   this-isn't-what-they-taught-you-in-school history here and
   there, and it seems that this book would be all about that.

   I don't expect it to be balanced, but I've yet to see a balanced
   history book. But once I get the author's bias and keep it in
   mind while I'm reading, I can thoroughly enjoy a novel set of
   historical perspectives, to help further round out my view of
   the past.
