What do you think of Quintin Barry's 'The Road to Koniggratz'

Chad

Well to be honest I found it a bit dull; he's not particularly good at communicating overview and there's no original research (as far as I remember) however, every contribution to 'our' period is to be welcomed. Put it this way, I bought it and don't regret it but its not as readable as Craig.

Agree with Cameronian. A good effort, but sadly it does not bring the characters to life. No bodices were ripped when I read it.
Holdfast

I though it had rather more detail than Craig, although I would agree with the consensus that it's not as readable. I found the maps  difficult to read, probably because they were scaled-down from contemporary full-sized documents.

Pretty much finished this book and what a great read . This is a period I will definitely be visiting, so now I need to start swatting up on the units involved (all of which had great names so what's not to like?), the various uniforms worn and the tactics involved. In short a happy man .
