"The Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774 - Brian L. Davies " Topic

"It's very rare that I buy a book the minute it is published as you are taking a big chance that you may end up being sorely disappointed but I had been eagerly waiting for this book ever since its was announced and so I took a chance. I wasn't disappointed, it is a well researched book written by someone who is an expert on the topic.

But I do have some complaints and so I am giving you advance warning that a rant is coming later on.

Overall I did find the book a little difficult to read but this was because I had to concentrate a lot more than normal; you see there is a lot of information packed into the book and I found myself constantly re-reading paragraphs just to make sure that I had grasped everything that I had just read. The second reason I found it difficult was that I was reading the book angry and this didn't help my concentration, because of this I thought it better I wait four days after finishing the book before starting to write a review.

The book is split into eight chapters followed by a short conclusion and then a lot of notes. Each chapter is further sub-divided into very handy small two-three page sections which made it ideal for bedtime reading, it also allows you to dip in and out at will or when time is short…"

Like most books of this type the content spreads either side of the actual fighting, so it also describes the run up to war and then its aftermath.

Thanks for picking this up however it should really be posted in 18th century Media.

Shame on you you should know better!!! :-) :-) :-)
