The sources used are mostly primary historical materials, many of which are in foreign languages. The writing style is both profound and accessible, with vivid and elegant language, making it highly readable. Each article is accompanied by several historical photographs, most of which are collected by the author himself, and many are rare or previously unseen, making them particularly valuable.
