A great read.......

Agree 100%
However, in stripping away the myths the book does nothing to depreciate the actions of the men who actually fought the battle. Rather the opposite really.
Objective history is a rare thing and always better than myth or legend although with written with warts and all it loses some of the feel-good glitter that comes from a good story.
Shattered Sword is a model of analysis and objectivity in my subjective opinion.
