Unknown Author Why Marla loves this book

Raw and gritty. In depth psychological lenses allows the reader to become emotionally gut twisted, feeling as though you been kicked in the ribs. As the reader you feel and share in the characters pain. Great read can't wait for the follow up.

Matthew S. Seligmann Why Matthew loves this book

This is the long-awaited sequel to the excellent The Will of the Many. As the plot and several of the characters carry over from the previous book, there are ways in which it is harder for this volume to be as original as its predecessor. Nevertheless, it still manages to find ways to surprise. As with its predecessor, it contains many plot twists and unexpected revelations. It also leaves several key issues that need to be resolved in the next book. In short, it is a beautifully crafted book that builds suspense and leaves one eager to see how everything will be brought to a close in the final instalment.

Matthew S. Seligmann Why Matthew loves this book

This is a book that many naval historians dip into regularly, but I actually had occasion to re-read it recently. This book was first published in 1940 and so a great deal of the scholarship within it is, unsurprisingly, now dated or disproved. Nevertheless, the book was a pioneering study and contains a great deal of information that is available nowhere else (often because the archival documents Marder used have since been lost or destroyed). In addition, it is beautifully written, includes some great character sketches, and many of the key insights, especially those covering the period 1898-1905, still hold good. It needs to be read with care, but it repays close scrutiny.
