Oh yeahhh that guy... to be fair, giant siege tower notwithstanding, Besieging was like the most normal thing he did? I mean they could have called him Demetrius the Blasphemer Who Had Sex On Our Statue Of Athena

You know, I was looking for this one the other week! I've been making an effort to loan books to friends & coworkers. My current balcony book is Robert Hutchinson's The Spanish Armada. If you like McCullough, I'd recommend Walter Borneman too if you haven't read him already!
