Very good. Macht assumes a lot and fills in the blanks a lot, but this isn't a history monograph. However, a great deal of real research went into this work, and the author bases the work on chiefly primary source materials like interviews and newspaper reports. His love of the subject is evident throughout. Though there is an (strong) argument to be made tat this could have been 100 (200?) pages shorter, I'll be reading part two soon. ( )
