Burgundians in the Mist: The Monograph
It's taken a while and, thanks to Createspace, I've decided to go ahead and publish Burgundians in the Mist in monograph form. Yes, you can get the info here, but a book, well now, that's the standard still, right? Here's a preview.
Why go this route? Well, after a few inquiries, I was informed by various academics that the topic is well-covered and, lest I bring "something new" to the table, there really isn't room for another scholarly monograph. I don't agree. I've tried to write a book that is both accessible to the general reader but with all of the footnote and historiographical fun we geeky historians enjoy. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't, but I'm putting it out there in an avenue that is open to folks like me (ie; non-institutional independent historians).
