John Kinross for Windrush A disjointed and amateur history of the years of King James' Irish kingdom from his flight from England to the Flight of the Wild Geese. A noble topic indeed that cries out for Dr Black's treatment. However, Kinross dithers around, never sticking to thematic or narrative history and finally ends up with some cant opinions about the current troubles. There is quite a bit of information included and some OBs. A good editor needed! More Book Corner:
