This story captured my attention as a Reader's Digest Condensed Book when I was just a kid. Lillie Langtry lived outside of the conventions that ruled her times and became a legend. "Because I loved Him" focuses on Lillie as a woman, with colourful anecdotes, a fastpaced narration and a great admiration for the subject. I came away feeling like I had known the multifaceted, fascinating Mrs. Langtry

this book is very informative on the lost state. read it!

This book provides a sympathetic treatment to Gen. J. Burgoyne. The problems that a commander faced in the 18th century still plague the 21st century commanders. The book relates the political intrigue that was going on in Parliment while Gen. Burgoyne was conducting his campaigne in the then American Colonies. His integrity was resolute. A very good report on the Battle of Saratoga was provided and his decision to surrender was not frivolous.
