One of Demandt's minor but admirable concerns is countering a tendency to (mis)use an image of Celtic Tribes for propaganda or various other political gains -- both in the ancient world and in more recent centuries. He’s very sober about Arthuriana, 20thC Druids and books about Mystical Celtic Wisdom.
More maps would have been welcome. I have no idea where most of the German or French rivers and towns that Demandt references are, and that makes following the text harder than it ought to be. ( )
