Good pacing and interesting profiles for most of the book. The author loses interest once he gets to the late 1970s and the rest is terse and muddled. One could stop there and substitute _Den of Thieves_ for a better understanding of the 1980s. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/321918?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
