Book Reviews of Vlad Dracula: The Dragon Prince
Book Review: Excellent Read
Summary: 4 Stars
The writer proves that the true story of Vlad Tepes is far more interesting than Stoker's fictional character. The book is historically accurate with enough fictional "filler" to make it an excellent read. Even the fiction weaved in and around the fact is more than plausible. Well written and researched. Recommended for anyone old or mature enough to deal with the brutality of 15th century warfare and one of history's most famous sons.
Summary of Vlad Dracula: The Dragon Prince
Most of the vast audience attracted to the subject of Dracula know him only in his fictional, one-dimensional form: vampire! Yet the truth behind the historical character--voevode, warlord--of 15th C. Romania is at least as equally fascinating as any contrived account of his supernatural persona.Vlad Dracula faithfully follows his life story as hostage, fugitive, prince, and prisoner. His principality of Wallachia was caught between two voracious predators: the kingdom of Hungary and the Ottoman empire. They tried to break Dracula with overwhelming force and terror. But Dracula turned their own tactics against them, and against criminals and factions in his own land, earning the name Tepes-The Impaler-in the process.
He was a strange mix of husband, father, soldier, statesman, and berserker. He annihilated 50,000 people--one-tenth of his own population. Cursed by his native Orthodox Christian Church, he indeed evolved into a legend. But even today he is Romania's Robin Hood.
