It speaks well to the author's skill that I ignored my husband for hours and simply could not put this book down -- reading it in a single evening -- when I've known how the story ends since watching the Ken Burns special in junior high...and I'm 32 years old. The writing is superlative, especially for such a well-worn topic. Bravo, Mr. Rarick!
