bookshelves: american, nonfiction, nonliterature
Read from February 19 to March 12, 2011

Outstanding -- for a story with limited "action", this book is unusually compelling. Especially impressive is Shesol's predilection for presenting and then challenging or confirming conventional wisdoms/myths. Hugely informative, not only about this seminal but widely unknown conflict but also about the interwoven workings of legislature, politics, even rhetoric.
