Well, they don't write like this any more. NYT Book Review said it best: "With swift pace, clear focus, deft selection of material and a series of brilliant character sketches, it is narrative history at its best." I couldn't put it down, even when I was hiking. I wish it had had a map, central Europe is a confusing place with lots of name changes.
