I enjoyed this book with the history of Taps . No song can bring a tear to your eye like it does when played by the lone bugler. The myths and legends of the song plus the personal stories of how the song has touched different people is informative and moving.

Gosh, if ever there was a book that should have been an essay or a magazine article... I'd say there was 5-10 pages of content stretched into a 120 page book.
