Editorial Reviews
“Hynes writes engagingly well, and his book shows extensive research. His commitment to the subject is academic caliber, while his writing style is relaxed and reader-friendly. Hynes allows himself the occasional wry comment regarding witness accounts, but he demonstrates serious regard for his subject. ‘Here Be Dragons’ is a great read, and it’s as informative as it is enjoyable.”
