Interesting style carries this book well beyond dry text and bring this part of history home on a personal level. As a blogger for the New York Times, you can understand how his style could be so informal, but the bibliography and notes (appended) show the research for facts behind the statements. Easy to understand why it is so acclaimed. Recommended.
