Rubicon by Tom Holland - History book or thinly veiled novel

[Timotheus]

BTW: the forum rules are that you should use your real name - otherwise, we might think that you're Tom Holland or his publisher, who again tries to influence critical discussion. :wink: (That Holland makes mistakes is one thing, and people may like his style; but that his adviser Cartledge has also written a review, I find unforgivable.)

What gives me the funny idea that "Blah" was indeed Holland himself, or his publisher? We didn't hear a thing from our anonymous guest anymore.

You think the guy sits at home googling himself so he can jump in places?
