As a lifelong Mormon who grew up in Utah and whose parents both taught at BYU during the Wilkinson years, I found this book fascinating. Although I was only nine when McKay died, I clearly remember my parents reactions to many of the events mentioned in the book, especially Benson and the John Birchers. (I thought we were the only Democrats in Utah!) This book filled in a lot of holes for me. It also has led to several interesting discussions with my Dad.
