"Man of War" is a funny, entertaining look at historical reenactors

Charlie Schroeder's new book, "Man of War," takes a funny, entertaining look at the world of historical reenactors. Schroeder spends nearly a year traveling America and joining forces with reenactors of all kinds in a quest to get more in touch with American history. He learned much, but also found out some reenactors were as clueless about history as he says he was. Schroeder joins the Roman legions, World War II German solidiers, French and Indian fighters and Polish cavalry and tells their tales. My review for U-T San Diego. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/jun/30/one-mans-historical-journey/
