Beating Tsundoku

Written in Falkner’s easy style this book is a wonderful evocation of a man and his times and the author’s liking for his subject comes through on every page. This, coupled with Falkner’s in-depth knowledge of the period has produced a first class book, that deserves to be on the shelf of any and every reader interested in the period of Eugene’s very long military career.

Unreservedly recommended!
