The book is extremely meticulously researched and all the information gleaned so painstakingly has been documented and presented cogently with all the sources listed at the end of each chapter.
It has a surprising amount of historical information even for seasoned readers of Goan history.Even academics and scholars of Goan history will be surprised at the extent of Dr.Bernardo’s research and the interesting bits of information that he has discovered and scrupulously documented .
Apart from the exhaustiveness ,quality of the research ,what stands out is the integrity with which the book is written –not a shred of bias or attempt to distort history.This is both refreshing and reassuring to those who regard history (at its core),as hard facts and evidence rather than falsehoods and conspiracy theories masquerading as ‘narratives’ and ‘interpretations’ propagated by different camps depending on their political and religious leanings.
Needless to say-a must read.
