I certainly agree on the value of popular history. It has an important role in helping people understand events and people’s motivations. I do agree with gmw’s final paragraph on this book: there was so much fiction mixed in with fact, and a lack of balance in the way the story was told, that I mistrusted the author’s accuracy.
Overall though, I think the book is true, and I certainly feel enormous sympathy for the women and their families.
