This is a very tight, strong narrative of the events related to the attempted assassination of President Reagan. While not as broad or as socially significant as Hellhound on His Trail, the book is an exciting, dramatic read once you get into the story. The primary objection I had to the book was the introductory material, which was far too worshipful of Reagan than is proper for a history. All Wilber had to do was tell the tale: the man's courage and humanity during this crisis spoke for itself and the book would have had greater impact had the author allowed readers to discover that for themselves.
