King John
"He had the mental abilities of a great king, but the inclinations of a petty tyrant."
This is an excellent analysis of the reign of king John. Rather than presenting a 'baddie', Warren has crafted a scholarly yet accessible portrayal of a widely misunderstood monarch. It wasn't all disaster, it wasn't all tyranny; some of John's opponents were just as shifty as he was. This is a rewarding read for anyone interested in John's reign, though a little heavy going in places.
One little niggle is the citations. They are meticulous and complete, but are numbered by page, not chapter. As the notes are end rather than foot, this could be a little frustrating.
One further thought- this book was written in 1961, so some of the research is naturally outdated. The new Yale edition features a foreword by D.A. Carpenter, which I recommend is read before reading the main text.
