This is, technically, a superbly done review and we see so few of them. Plenty appear attached to adverts for new releases telling us how brilliant is this work. But this is clearly a chap who knows his Italian Military of WWII and has analysed the book in depth. This was a good find. I enjoyed it because surgical book review is still a major part of my (residual, post retirement) work. This guy is good. I wish he took out tonsils, I would have work for him |
