I know a lot of people have read this, but I'm sure some of you have not.
I just wanted to share the following link to a free version of the book so everyone has a chance to read it.

    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    True, no book that covers the entire scope of the nation's history comes close....while there might be better books on individual events, eras or persons....this is the best broadstroke history around.

    Excellent book. Used it a lot at uni. Had so many little personal stories that yuo would not learn about from other books.

    What is your job?
    Just so you know, even if I were to buy it, it would be a second-hand book that I'd buy. My preference for most books, if possible.
