"electrifying--a page turner."
As much as I like VDH (and I have several of his books), I've never been able to say that about his books. Does he have a new editor?

I don't know about his editor. The book was a little slow getting started, but after a few chapters I couldn't put it down. I've read Thucidydes and love it, but Hanson's observations and point of view are fresh and powerful. I couldn't put it down.

Strangely--and I don't know why--Hanson's book reminded me of A Million Little Pieces, which I found fascinating but less a page turner.
