Query: More biography than history.

It would be incorrect to call this work a comprehensive history of Atlanta. The author skips, or lightly brushes, many events and periods important to the development of modern Atlanta. He barely mentions Reconstruction, prohibition, the impact of railroads, airports, highways, etc... The book is, however, a startling biography. As you might expect, he reports heavily on topics and events which were of particular importance to the development of the Dobbes and Allen families, and happened to be important to Atlanta as well. Though Pomerantz is a journalist, his writing style is lyrical enough to be interesting, but beware--this book is dense with facts. You're going to read a lot of numbers. Where the book succeeds most obviously, however, is in it's analysis of race issues throughout Atlanta history. You can expect this book to dispel some of your most widely piqued stereotypes.
