A stellar performance by a gifted writer,
By
This review is from: The Lock (Paperback)
I am quite astounded by this work. I am no novice on this topic, to be sure - having read and enjoyed many dozens of titles on this and related themes, including, most recently, the many popular stories by Steven Saylor and Coleen McCullough. But this book grabbed my attention as no other, moving with assurance and perfect speed through a world as real as last Tuesday. And it is so much the result of excellent story telling. This is living history as far as I am concerned, in a book I despaired of ever finding. The issues of that generation of western mankind are with us today in a world living in the long shadow of the American republic as it strains and teeters at the edge. If you thought there were no more riches in this mine, think again - and buy this book.

Terrific Read,

Ciciero has always fascinated me, but even if he didn't, I would have been grabbed and carried away by this book. Not only is Jaro an impeccable scholar, she's a born storyteller. Her great gift is to make the past--and the actors in its drama--alive, vital, and real. This is really a superb book. History made flesh.
