Daring and dashing; Thomas; Lord Cochrane led an extraordinary life. This bold commander; whose exploits far exceeded those of any fictional counterpart; was dubbed the "Sea Wolf" by no less than Napoleon himself. More than just a colorful military figure; however; Cochrane entered Parliament; became a radical reformer; and fought official corruption...earning powerful enemies in the process. They plotted revenge--and very nearly succeeded--but Cochrane's final triumph as a conquering hero remains one of the most amazing tales ever told.

The only fault I see might be the repetitive coverage of the subject matter.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Excellent.By TacitusThis is an excellent book and is historically very rigorous. Of course; with the limited sources for the first century many questions will not be able to be resolved and this is frustrating. One wonders if even part of the library at Caesarea Maritima had been preserved how much more we might know historically. I am hoping that Meier releases Volume 6 soon.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Important but delaying milestone on the road to completion.By Lonnie B.This book was a bit of a surprise; based on what Dr. Meier had led us to believe his Volume 5 would be; but it turned out to be an important milestone on the way to completion of his monumental work on the Historical Jesus. He's now promising that Volume 6 will be what he had suggested Volume 5 would be; which was; among other things; his view on why Jesus was executed by the Romans as an insurrectionist.This work on the parables is likely to be disappointing to those who've thought all along that the parables were the one part of the written record that went most reliably back to Jesus; the man of history; when Dr. Meier; on the contrary; uses his preceding fundamental work to relegate most of the parables to the category of either not determinable or not from Jesus.
