Finally finished this last night.
Despite going into great detail on some subjects I'm not really interested in
and the story could have done without, it is a good read. Not sure whether
to consider it Historical Fiction or Alternative History but the use of actual people
and events combined with fictional characters was successful in creating a story
that moved along well, was entertaining and convincing.
Though I'm sure that already being convinced helped in that regard.
I give it 2 thumbs up. If you can spend the coin on a real copy I'd recommend
that over the pdf. It was not near as enjoyable as a real book.
