Hey mate those were comments for Sonny.
Well you know Ceaser was an example lets come to Alexander and Ashoka, and you won't get many autobiographies ,journals etc etc , all you will get will research and some contemporary accounts, which Burley's book refers to heavily anyway, the author did not make up the fact, though if he copied it from his journal I think that would have been actually a bit biased isn't it? Anyways goodpints...I endorse it. However most good historian books do better than just going by the journals of the greats they write about if enough sources are available. Will you go by Sugar Ray's autobiography while judging him ? You won't know half of what there is to know...I read his autobiography and his biography. There is a hel of difference mate
Burley doesn't have a book that I read...Sonny is referring to the Black Murderers row (which I did read) and you can be sure that book is a good one...Claiming that book to be fictional is a travesty..it has been endorsed by the best historians and I will take their words against Sonny's.
Question have you read the book and do you think liek Sonny anways?
