One of the most important aspects of Bryant's work is its unflinching self-reflection. What sets his book apart from so much contemporary analysis is its recognition of the continual pull of “self-validating folklore”, even as it simultaneously recognises that pull ? and insists on resisting it…Bryant's work of history is as unflinching as it is accessible.
