Patrick Blackett
Brad Faught's Gordon: Victorian Hero is an insightful and well written historic biography of one of England's greatest war heroes. This short but information packed book is easy to read and even gripping. Having never heard who Gordon was until I picked up the book, I could not resist always turning the next page. Faught does well in diving into both the personal and professional life of Gordon in a way that gives the reader a well rounded view of his life. With this being a relative short book, it is absolutely packed with captivating stories and insights into Gordon's life that never drags on. Overall, Gordon: Victorian Hero is an amazing book that shows Dr. Brad Faught at his best.
