M. J. Trow: Vlad the Impaler |
From the Publisher But who was the real man who inspired the Dracula legend? Was he as gruesome as legend depicts, or, as some Romanians, refuting the popular image, suggest, an heroic 15th century warrior and freedom fighter? Or is his reputation as a bloodthirsty mass-murderer, who sadistically impaled his victims, justified? In this new book, by acclaimed true crime historian Mei Trow, the author peels back the layers of myth and history to unravel to reveal the 15th century figure who was the real Vlad the Impaler. M. J. Trow: Vlad the Impaler. In Search of the Real Dracula. Sutton Publishing, ISBN: 0750935227 (July, 2004), 294 p., £8.99
