Just got the book, but I read the first chapter and want to recommend it to my colleague Freepers. I read "Plan of Attack," which is okay, well reported but badly written. By contrast, I've finished Sammons' first Chapter--"Rise of the Bush-Haters"--and it's terrific: well-written, well-conceived, exciting (which "Plan of Attack" never was). Not just thumbs up on this--my whole hand!
