Some of the stuff these guys must have had to go through is unreal. It makes ...

Unfortunate Review

However, he feels and exhibits the need to write unfair, demeaning and unfounded reviews about competitive historical works in order to promote his own. With those kinds of tactics, what credibility and integrity can be invested into the works he produces? Sadly, not much.
