I tend to think there is no such thing as dry, dull history -- just historians who cannot write for beans, or who spend too much time talking about the academic theory structure they are using rather than talking about the data -- but yeah, in this case I blatantly left out all the stuff I wasn't interested in and went right for the juicy bits. :-)
