Lest I sail under false colors...
I have no real basis for that statement except for what is written there on the Amazon page. :roll:
Now my wife did read The Bounty as part of her research on Captain Cook and his fatal voyage to Hawai'i (Bligh was one of Cook's officers). She thought the book both useful and well written.
Will that also be the case with this new book?
Well written -- probably so.
Useful -- Ah, now there is the rub. :?
Based upon the Jacket Blurb it seems to me she is doing an analysis of the Iliad rather than writing about the Trojan War as history. I suspect this book will be more of a philosophical rumination on the nature of men and war.
Although my present finances do not allow for a purchase :oops: , I have added this book to my Amazon list and when means (and time) permit I will give it a read.
:wink:
