Book Reviews of King Arthur: The Truth Behind the Legend
Book Review: A widely-researched but flawed investigation of King Arthur
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a widely-researched investigation of the Arthur mystery which starts with a good synthesis of previous research, includes useful maps and ends with a extensive bibliography. Where it fails is in its frankly speculative reconstruction of the career and end of the Arthur of history, which goes beyond the meagre evidence for his existence and is unconvincing to the informed historian. Nevertheless, this is as good an introduction to the historical mystery and more reliable than other attempts to locate Arthur exclusively in Wales, Scotland, the Isle of Man or Brittany.
