pickExcellent work on an extraordinary person. The limited amount of original sources does require some imagination on the part of the author but it does stay within historical reality. I thought it was terrific!

pickI‘d highly recommend this to history lovers. Take your time in reading this tome. It‘s worth it! And the pictures definitely helped bring me back to that time period! I‘m getting a copy of this for my dad for his birthday! Oh! Apparently there‘ll be a movie made about Yasuke too!

pickThis has to be the best book I have read this year! I cannot recommend it enough if you enjoy medieval history. I can't wait for the movie they are going to make about Yasuke. The prose used to tell the story makes it much more like reading a novel, absolutely not the typical dry academic history prose. Get this book. Read it. You won't regret it.
