5.0 out of 5 stars Highly readable accompaniment to the television series., 6 April 2001

By	gerald@lawbase.fsnet.co.uk (County Down, Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: War Walks: From the Battle of Hastings to the Blitz v. 2 (Paperback)

Having watched the highly enjoyable television series I bought this book expecting to re-read the narrative from the series,this however was not the case. Richard Holmes style, both in the book and on television, is entertaining, if such a word could be used in this context. I found the book to expand on the series in such a way as to be informative without being too detailed and boring. At the same time the wealth of detail I gained from the book made me feel, as an amateur military enthusiast, that I had learned a great deal about the battles. The illusrations, photgraphs and maps all are of high quality and relevant,being placed adjacent to the reference in the text. (this may sound silly but when you are trying to visualise the person or persons it helps that you don't have to turn thirty pages to find the photograph!) The range of battles covered and their timeframe is also very good and should appeal to a wide range of military tastes, from medieval and 1066 to the Blitz and 1940.I found the Battle of the Boyne particularly interesting. Coming from Northern Ireland where it has reached legendary proportions it was revealing to read of the historical, as oppossed to the mythical, battle. Overall a highly enjoyable book which I would recommend to anyone who has the slightest interest in the history of this country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Brilliant!, 23 Jul 2000

By A Customer

This book is yet another masterpiece of the great author, Richard Holmes. In this book, he clearly chronicles events of the era, and excellently evokes the feeling of these events - a capability unique to this superb Professor. My advice is certainly to buy it - one cannot appreciate fully the importance of these battles without the meticulously researched and wonderfully constructed work of Mr Holmes. Well done, Richard!
