Hilarious for non historians and people who know where the west indies are
The dramatic summary of Cromwell's treatment of the Irish on the cover leads one to believe that this book will reveal a fascinating factual recollection of a very dark time in English history. It claimed to be based on the truth and a real family's encounters in the West Indies.

I nearly stopped reading when the author described the Lesser Antilles as being situated 500 miles south of the Equator.

I'm glad I didn't... the hero, somewhat unusually called "Tim", battled against baddies and monsters straight out of a kid's comic. Just wait for the shark attack and his battle with a giant black octopus.

You can skim it and pick out out the funniest bits in an hour or so. Enjoy!

Can't wait for his next historical summary. I wish we studied this guy's books as text books at school.
