This book was great but what stops be from rating it higher is that it was hard to get through.
The individual stories are great and well researched. I loved how the author would explain how people might have come to the conclusions and actions that they did. A good amount of background is provided for the locations and time period, so you never feel lost.
These detail rich and interesting subjects are too much at times rendering the parts boring. I wanted to learn something interesting but instead I felt like I was trying to study a textbook. Still the book brought up a lot of great conversation and I did enjoy it overall.
