A fascinating bit of history, but less engaging that some of his other books. I think the reason it's less engaging is because it lacks a single, central figure who drove the entire project. Sure, there are a handful of notables and each are interesting and exciting in their own ways, but they aren't a team and they don't span the entire story.

EVEN STILL, McCullough delivers again. Well-composed. Interesting. Astonishing. Very worth reading.
