Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First my credentials: I have a Master's Degree in History and have studied ancient Rome for decades, including primary sources. I cannot recommend this book to anyone who wants to know about the Roman legions. The information in the book is extremely superficial, often misleading, and is little more than a series of very disjointed vignettes. The author makes little to no effort to describe the legions in a well researched, logical, and informative manner. For those who want to learn about the reality of life in the legions, I recommend: "The Complete Roman Army" by Adrian Goldsworthy, "Rome and the Sword" by Simon James, and "Roman Military Equipment From The Punic Wars To The Fall Of Rome" by M. C. Bishop, to name but a few.
