But I don't actually care all that much about who won which war, but about the lives of the people and the culture and geography, all of which we get a real look into with this book (and some of its successors.)
I have the feeling I picked this up before I turned against freebies. That would mean it's in my Nook library and never made it to Calibre, lol! And there it will stay. So I shall go to Bain and acquire another copy, as this could be exactly my thing.

Thank you both, Rev. Bob and Charlie!
