I've mentioned his book What Happened In History on here before.. I first became aware of it in 1972 when it was the inspiration behind Roy Harper's The Lord's Prayer - the Youtube live in Sunderland version of which is a total tour de force, imo - and have had a copy of it for many years now. It is still available as a cheap paperback. Those that buy it will, I hope, agree that the old ones are sometimes the best. If anything I have read - I've not read the orange book - has inspired my interest in archaeology and the past..or present..it is this. A Bible, to me. Others may think differently and are free to do so.
