Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

3.0

There is a pretty bad major factual error in the book: Kurlansky makes the claim that Breton, the Celtic language spoken in Brittany, was descended from the language of the Gauls. In fact, Welsh speakers came there in the early Middle Ages, a fact that is reflected in the name of the region and easily verified by the historical record. If he missed this, what else is grossly incorrect?
