A disappointment February 25, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The title is presumptuous. The book, although interesting in some parts, is no more than a collection of reminiscenses. It is a document for historians rather than a history, as the title implies. Some of the technical information is trivial, some of the drawings no more than mere illustrations. Needless to say, the price is short of a scandal.
