Book Reviews of Vlad Dracula: The Dragon Prince
Book Review: An incredibly compelling book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This fantastic book will draw you in and hold you enraptured until the last page. I wanted to know more about the real Vlad Dracula, and I couldn't have picked a better resource. This is history presented in an exciting fictional format, but which maintains the truth of the story. I have read it probably 9 times already (I'm reading it now, in fact!). My wife and I are actually going to Romania next month to take a week long tour of Dracula's land, thanks in no small part to this wonderful book. If you have even the slightest interest in Dracula, or if you just want to read a terrific book filled with action, intrigue, romance, humor, and history - buy this one.
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.
