This is the first swipe at a history book. Some scholars may go on about, "Thucydides blahblahblah more rigorous blahblahblah." ...but come on, people. Herodotus arguably invented prose. What more do you want from him? Somewhere between an oral history, a tall tale, a study of military strategy (The tale of Zopyros will haunt my sleep until the day I die.), and comparative anthropology, it's engaging and entertaining.

I'm still unsure what message the author is trying to convey here. Is this the "Primary Colors" of the Obama administration? If so, it's short of the mark. Reads more like a how to get re-elected primer than anything but should appeal to political junkies who've always wondered just what goes on in an election campaign. Although I suspect, like making sausage, we'd rather not know.
