Great book with lots of information on the history. I found the beginning hard to follow and there was a lot of detail that I found I tuned out and then got lost when I heard something that interested me. Similar level of detail to "Attack of the Clones" - it's important but there's a lot. That said, great on the modern era, though the 1920s to the present felt rushed.
