I ain't from Boston or any other English speaking place, and my only interests in the perfidious Albion are playing Crusader Kings (where this whole three-sided fracas makes for interesting gameplay), and waiting for it to sink under the sea as it should've done long ago if it had any shame, but this was a nice read.

Book seems to be on the local amazon page, bit pricey, but might end up buying it in a moment of weakness.
