There's lots of detail and lots of context - context, the background to the story, is crucial to books of this kind, I find. The story itself is interesting, and here is clearly described and well paced. There perhaps aren't the kind of illuminating revelations you get in the very best works but those are so rare, it's not really fair to expect them. This is a fine book and an unqualified pleasure.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Bertolt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeff Guinn is a former award-winning investigative journalist and the bestselling author of numerous books, including Go Down Together: The True Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde and Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson.
