". . . makes the case that Arthur and many others found in the popular legend were real people who 'played important roles in shaping the modern nations of the British Isles.'

West Coast Review of Books, December 1993
"History buffs as much as novice Arthurians will be unable to put these volumes down. . . . Turner's pages portray a king with integrity, a sense of truth, and spellbinding resolve. His very complete history is much better in the telling than the 11th and 12th century romantic tales of King Arthur. . . . The author has brilliantly researched and represented the best documented sources to unveil a well-structured overview of The REAL King Arthur. . . . This is a perfect chronicle of Arthur's beginning that separates fact from fiction."
