3.0
I wish there had been more depth to this. The topic is great, and I learned of individuals I had never read or heard about before, but it felt like there was something missing. Parts of the book seemed like mini biographies and other parts were analysis of the eras. The two can go together, but I'm just not sure they blended quite right this time. It also wasn't the most riveting writing I've encountered lately. The topic is worth study, and this book does an okay job of it. I just feel like it's a lot more interesting than it ended up being as written here. I suppose I just wanted more than I was given.
