Rendition Supposing Books For the Love of Armin
In September of the year 9 A.D., the young Germanic warrior known as Armin to his friends and Arminius to his Roman enemies, successfully took on and defeated three entire Roman legions. This resulted in the deaths of over twenty thousand Roman soldiers. This in turn resulted in the Roman emperor called Tiberius recalling all Roman military units from Germania. The Germanic tribes would associate for their common good, often meeting and forming up for offensive or defensive war, but they were always separate and very independent. Armin knew that the best way to ensure that his country was not bothered by outside invaders again was to become a single country complete with it own army and navy. In this he crossed swords with the independent temper of his own people. They did not want any king from anywhere telling them what to do. In due course, this resulted in even the members of his own family taking up arms against him in order to make sure that the tribes of Germania remained independent and free. Such was the concern of the ancient Germanic tribesmen that this might not be the case, that Armin was murdered by the members of his own family.

What is instantly clear about Michael Kramer's novel, For the Love of Armin, is the amount of work and research he has put into it. He has used as much historical fact as he can, and used them to create realistic characters, that were appropriate to the time period of the Roman Empire. His ability to combine fact and fiction is brilliant, as was his ability to set such dramatic scenes with epic action and bloodshed. Set in the early years following the birth of Christ, we start the book as theIf you are a scholar and student of Ancient Rome, if you love the stories and sagas of how the Germanic people stopped Roman expansion into Northern Europe, then you will love this book.It tells of the TRUE STORY of Prince Armin of the Cherusci tribe who fought with the Romans and learned about them. No, really. He learned Latin, Roman history and culture, Roman military tactics and warfare, and then he deceived the Romans into a deadly ambush in the forests of Northern Europe where he WIPED OUT
*I received this book in exchange for an honest review.* Michael Kramer did a lot of research for this book. Historical facts are mixed in with fiction so well at some points, that I could hardly tell the difference. The unusual format and style this was written in, reminds me of history books I stared at years ago. Kramer's writing style fits well here. I think he caught the feel of what people would say and do during that time period very well. His portrayal of Roman figures like Julius Caesar
An author that has done his homework. He has really being reseaching the places, events and characters. That is incredible and only makes the story more real and worth reading.The mix of real events and fiction is really well written into this story. The details are amazing. The story almost felt like it was a historical book that could be used in schools but it is also a captivating read.
Ive always found the era FTLOA is set in to be particularly fascinating, and the writing here is so detailed I felt I was living out the experiences as I turned page after page. A lot of the conflict is quite gruesome, but I wouldnt say its handled in a gratuitous way, more reflective of the violent times and struggles of the people in those days. Very informative as well as entertaining, and I get the feel the author must have heavily researched every area of life at these times before he began
'A Gracious Enemy' is historically accurate in its facts surrounding events that took place during the Vietnam war, combined with some fiction to embellish the characters perspectives. The difference between how Kramer writes and a historical book, is that he allows us to delve deeper into the lives of the people that would have been involved.
