I'll be honest, I had no real knowledge of this historical event until I read the synopsis for Father of Lions, but it sounds so interesting. When you see war and battlezones through the television screen, so far removed from you and your current life, you kind of forget all the normal, everyday situations that have to be taken care of by those people living through it. Father of Lions sounds and looks like a really good book covering a topic that I'd be very interested in reading.
