## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant book for a present for my Dad
*by G***Y on 20 December 2023*

My dad was over the moon with his present. It's kept him quiet and he hasn't annoyed mum as much so a worthwhile investment!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book
*by M***C on 13 June 2022*

Simply beautiful. I can spend Hours reading this. Just the right amount of detail

### ⭐ Disappointing pastiche
*by D***O on 25 December 2021*

Disappointment treatment of the flow and superficial sections. Anecdotally, the treatment of the Spanish Civil War in a few clinical paragraphs is a joke that would not pass a serious undergraduate level.
