Query: Absolute rubbish

I can hardly think of a worse book than this. It is extremely dated and the pace is turgid. More importantly to my mind, it was written by a man who fancied himself a historian, and in this and his "non-fiction" work he systematically and quite maliciously set about to trash the reputations of Louis XIII and Cardinal Richelieu. Unfortunately the fiction format helped him to reach a wide audience. If you want to read about heroes dealing with life-or-death crises with courage and passion - read Tapie or Moote or Bailly, read the real history of the reign!
