That it never does so is a credit to Anderson&#8217;s skill as a sciptwriter and director, but the overall edginess does leave behind the aftertaste of a dish whose &#8230; <a href="http://sriyansa.wordpress.com/2011/04/12/the-royal-tenenbaums-wes-anderson/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sriyansa.wordpress.com&amp;blog=25528&amp;post=553&amp;subd=sriyansa&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Writing about history is a balancing act. Enunciating the historical truth, contextualizing and grounding it in dry facts, while dramatizing it enough to retain reader&#8217;s interest is a tough ask. Further, if the subject is universally known and rarely understood (and often misunderstood), the author&#8217;s task is nothing sort of herculean.
