There are also excellent explanatory maps as well as photos and illustrations of archaeological objects.

To any aficionado of archaeology, let alone military history, this is a thoroughly entertaining read.

Major Clunn concludes his introduction to the book thus:

• "The Varusschlacht spun history, and thus Western Civilization, in a different direction. The Quest for the Lost Roman Legions is not the final word on this watershed event. Out in the fields, there is much more waiting to be discovered.
  

We wish him and the German team well in their continuing quest!

The book would have profited from a German-speaking "reader": there are a number of misspellings of names and locations. I have been assured that this will be corrected with the next printing.
