I dunno I couldn't get into this. I can barely work up interest in the American revolution and I am an American. I mean I can sometimes read about the Republic of Letters and Encyclopedists of the enlightenment or even pirates but I don't find much else of interest in the 18th century. Just dreary exploitation and empires clashing. Not much fun for me.

Fantastic read! The prose was not as compelling as the subject, but still an incredible book.
