What a great read.  Well up to your usual standard.  The excellent battle diagrams and the text finally enable me to understand how the battle unfolded and the fine art illustrations make this a treasure.  Well done.  People should not be put off by this being non-fiction, your novelist skill in putting the characters involved into 3D sets this apart (and for me) above other tales of the battle. Bit sad that I am in Nigeria when you are speaking in Norwich; I have 35 first editions itching for your signature!  Bring on the next Saxon story.  What’s is after that please?
