Editorial Reviews

Review
"Becher succeeds in combining a masterful account of the life stages of the "powerful figure" and the myth of Charlemagne with a precise and impressive representation of his era." Die Zeit

Review
“Becher succeeds in combining a masterful account of the life stages of the ‘powerful figure’ and the myth of Charlemagne with a precise and impressive representation of his era.”—Die Zeit


“A remarkably informed, informative, and admirably up-to-date ‘personal interpretation’ of the Frankish emperor’s character, reign, and legacy. . . . Highly recommended.”—Choice


“An excellent introduction.”—Historical Association Review

3.0 out of 5 stars Quick Read, November 30, 2006
By T. M. Sowell (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Charlemagne (Paperback)
I don't know if it because there is not a lot of data available about Charlemagne or that he was not as interesting a fellow as I thought. The author spends a fair amount of space trying to disprove a previous volume on Charlemagne. As someone who enjoys the military history portion of history, I was hoping for more on the campaigns. Not much on his youthful years either.
