I've not read it but just so you know...David Hatcher Childress writes a lot of whacky fringe science type stuff. Think crop circles, Von Daaniken, Bermuda Triangle, Lost Atlantis etc. His World Explorer magazine is a fun read and his books may be great too but you're not getting a mainstream historical book there.
