Today we examine the duality of Vlad. But more specifically, the land he fought for. 

There have been longer rulers in the region.

More popular rulers.

But none who claimed the Devil who would fight for God.

A quick note:

Wallachian geopolitics and history is fascinating. Vlad's life and lineage is chronicled in Radu Florescu & Raymond McNally's "Dracula: Prince of Many Faces". 

Alongside this title; Captivating History has an accessible and thorough history of Vlad and Wallachia available in audiobook, Kindle, and print forms

"Vlad the Impaler: A Captivating Guide to How Vlad III Dracula Became One of the Most Crucial Rulers of Wallachia and His Impact on the History of Romania"

Both come with my highest recommendation.
