What people are saying
Patrick Wyman is a history podcaster and author.
@CaptainDuclarke @Powells Is he interested in Vikings? He might like “Children of Ash and Elm.” Or for more early modern, Roger Crowley, “Empires of the Sea.”
CCO & CMO turned CEO of @ProofAnalytics. #1 partner for #SFDC and #AWS re #MRM and #MMM software. Unmatched power, speed, and ease of use!
@DanHillHistory Malta for me. The account by Roger Crowley in “Empires of the Sea” did that for me. Badajoz would be #2, and Seringapatam for #3. Others would include the Alamo, Jerusalem, Alesia, Vienna, and Bastogne.
Praise for this book
"A masterly narrative that captures the religious fervor, brutality and mayhem of this intensive contest."--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Gripping . . . This is a rare combination of a history book that reads with the detail, insight and pace of a novel."--Tampa Tribune
"Crowley has an astonishing gift for narration; his account is as exciting as any thriller."--Wall Street Journal
"Crowley's page-turner history . . . deserves to be this [season's] most recommended nonfiction book. . . . Rich in character, action, surprise, what transpired in those few desperate weeks is one of history's best and most thrilling stories."--Dallas Morning News
