Wow! This author is really opinionated! This is about people in addition to politics and Manchester doesn't mince words about just how colorful the people were. I will never think about the Protestant Reformation the same way. I had no idea that millions (really!) of people were slaughtered during that time. Easy to read and accessible, but I would not recommend it for young people, though.
