I picked this up to 'fact check' the TV show (which is excellent, though heavily dramatized). It did serve that purpose.. it confirmed most of what I expected was created for the show, and a couple things that were surprising. As a book, I found it didn't really hold together as a narrative.. it was more of a string of facts... which was fine for my purpose, but doesn't really make for a compelling read.

That said, it seems to be really well researched, and it did provide the infomation I was looking for... including verifying a few fun moments fr0m the show WERE probably true, which was nice.
