Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-22 00:00:00 Renee Snoddy A veritable (and proverbial) treasure trove of arcana and fascinating tidbits. However, I must say that Soltis often comes across as a decidedly priggish presence, and his frequent high-handedness at assessing the performances of illustrious players of the past is similarly unappealing. He always used to be one of my favorite chess writers/personalities, with an easy affability which was most inviting. Either he has grown rather cantankerous in his dotage, or else he has always been like this and I just never noticed it until now. :(

Review # 2 was written on 2012-03-13 00:00:00 Paul Lemieux Convincing This book is a convincing and well-written account of both Jane Fonda’s activities in Vietnam and the history of American treason law and prosecutions. My one reservation is that it gets a little too much into very extended quotes from primary sources.
