A World Lit Only By Fire, by William Manchester

How do you like it?

I ask because I had read the two volumes of Manchester's excellent "The Last Lion." I was anxiously awaiting the third volume when I saw "A World Lit Only By Fire" in the bookstore and saw that it was written when he was supposedly completing the "Last Lion" trilogy. I was a little perturbed at that. But, it looked pretty good.

Alas, Mr. Manchester died without writing the third installment of one of the finest biographies ever written.

It’s very good. Took a few chapters to get the feel of it so to speak, but it’s very enjoyable. Glad I wasn’t around back then. LOL.
