If you want to know what really happened during the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43 and Queen Boudicca's rebellion of AD 60, the author has collected together the actual words of the Roman historians who are the real source of all that is known about these events. The result reads rather like a collection of journals or diaries that might have been kept by eyewitness observers nearly 2,000 years ago—but is anything but dry and dusty.

3.0 out of 5 stars
not the book I wanted,
By
This review is from: Queen Boudicca's Battle of Britain (Hardcover)
Disappointed by the end of the second chapter, I sent this book back to Amazon. The writing style reminded me of that of a freshman year college student trying to stretch her measly research to fill out a ten page paper using the sort of logic that is generally limited to those newly entering the world of academia. (To wit, I have a fact: it could mean one thing, it could mean another. Or perhaps a third.)
The premise of the book is an excellent one: a sort of verbal archaeological exploration of ancient events. Instead, it read as if the author discovered he lacked the sources to make that exploration, but decided to go ahead with the project rather than attack differently or scrap it altogether.
