Reviews
'An engaging biography.' - The New York Times Book Review; 'Moorehead's entertaining view of Schliemann's life is in keeping with the convoluted history of the Trojan treasure itself.' - The Times; 'Few tales of mystery and imagination can match the story of Heinrich Schliemann... Vivid, graceful and engaging prose.' - The Baltimore Sun; 'Moorehead bypasses recent unearthings of Schliemann's flaws in favor of a celebration of his inspiring achievements and a retracing of the convoluted trail of his legacy to the present day.' - Kirkus
