As with all real history books, it gets a little tedious to keep track of all the royals and movements of real people. However, the author managed to keep the tone engaging and subtly humorous without compromising on academic rigour. This is almost the perfect blend between taking the interested reader seriously by discussing sources and reflecting on what can or cannot be known, while not devolving into the hyper sterile language of a scientific journal article. 

Takes Muntzer for what he was : a religious revolutionary with a great social concern, with no illusions to any quasi-Leninistt spirit but also not dismissing his proto-democratic-radicalism.
