Most of the book is either persecutions by non Christians or else biographies of non martyrs. I understand that it could be a rallying point, but once one reads it, it isn’t.

There are a number of Protestant martyrs, to be sure. How is St. Thomas More treated, though? That should give you pause about its accuracy and its viewpoint.

Read it or not.. OTHERS WILL...
Easy to google up info on it on your own..
I'm not a Lutheran.. I think the Lutheran Church is not far from the RCC.. But I think Martin Luther deserves some respect.. as well as a few Popes..
