Query: Interesting tid bits, not much else.

The author did a great job of digging up interesting stories and providing a synopsis of those stories and details, but that is all they are: quick sound bite synopsis's. With a few of the stories that is all is what was needed, but with most I felt I was left hanging on some tantalizing new detail or details with no further explanation or narrative. If this was meant to be a sound-byte coffee table book, then a larger format and more pictures would be suggested.If you are a real history buff, then you might look elsewhere; or purchase this simply to whet your appetite with the fore-knowledge that you will do much more research to get the whole scoop on each "story never told".
