Query: Just the facts, please

But not with Alexander I. He is too complex.Books on him fall into two categories, those who present the hard facts and those who are apologists. Apologists explain this complex man as one whose bizzare behavior is due to Imerial "dissimulation" or other mitigating factors.Both sorts of books are needed, fun, fair, and keep things interesting. Authors with fine credentials are in both schools.This is a nicely done book with a 1964 copyright. Maybe the apologists fuel the interest in this fascinating man. Upon completion, they leave one on more of an upper with a desire to learn more.This bok is worth locating.
