“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly."



- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 BC

    If you are into medals it's a great book to have.
    It's really cool what is out there at reasonable prices.

    It's a superb reference with an incredible amount of information. It takes a little
    learning to use it but isn't overly difficult since so many of the terms are standard.

    It's a shame so few of the medals listed in it are available cheaply or widely but
    old things made in small numbers are rarely too cheap or too available.
