the book unfortunately contains more fiction than actual fact, despite it being advertised as something else. while a few of the main historical facts are correct, the majority of the book contains exaggerations at best, or is simply misleading at worst. the characters are also portrayed to be rather one sided, especially when it comes to the few women represented. there are also times when certain characters act very uncharacteristically, though they could obviously be pinned down on the authors intention, whatever it may be.
