Though slightly old fashioned, this book has stood the test of time rather well. It gives a clear account of the period which can be, at the best of times, confusing especially when it comes to names and relationships between clans and families. It offers a reasonably balanced account of events and is certainly better on the detail than many other books of the era. It can be and has been bettered but not I think by general audience titles.
