I was looking forward to reading this book. When I finally got hold of a copy, I was thoroughly disappointed! What could have been an interesting read, was reduced to a collection of newspaper articles reproduced verbatim. Apparently, the author could not even be bothered to editorialize the articles, much less offer additional details outside of those presented in the articles. This resulted in a very boring, clinical read. On top of that, the text that was presented in the authors own words was disjointed, disorganized and completely uninteresting. Then you have illustrations and photographs printed with absolutely no textual context. Several that I saw would have been interesting had there been any accompanying description other than the small blurb that served as a caption.

Sadly, save your money. This one is not worth it.
