Ursus Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have never read them, but I have heard they concentrate almost exclusively on political and military affairs. If that's your thing, you'll probably like them. But if you, like me, want a more balanced cultural perspective, I hear you have to find another author.

Virgil61 Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 Years ago I read his history of Venice and remember it being pretty good. He's got an excellent reputation so you wouldn't go wrong with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
