Go ahead and get your copy today. It went in without a final edit on half of it so there are spelling and grammar issues but I’m too busy to fix it. I eneded up with enough marks to get entry to the PhD program so who cares.
According to Massey University its “A look at the defences and battle strategy of the Trojans through the eye of a soldier. Provides an evaluation of Troy’s ditches as a defensive system within the context of warfare as practiced by contemporary participants.” Maybe I should go there and Belich it up… going to need a camera, a sports jacket and an untidy haircut…
Anyway according to me it was 1/2 of what I did in 2011 so feel free to make a contribution: 22AD Research Fund
If the trebuchet plan* is anything to go by I stand to make maybe $6.50 out of this.
*Still No 1 on google search for “free trebuchet plan” and one person in every 1,000 will donate a dollar.
…a sports jacket, an untidy haircut and a head full of sickly white guilt. Nah mate, not your style. I see you more like Admiral Hill-Norton staring down the barrel of a camera in full damn-your-impudence mode, speaking calmly and analytically about the precise methodology involved in conquering a quarter of the planet and why it was jolly good fun.
Quite so, but someone needs to highlight that Belich is a post-colonial social historian with evidently zero understanding of military matters and has no business making his deeply flawed judgments on our history.
