I'll own the fact that I'm partial to books about or set in Northeast Ohio being a native, but partialness aside this is an incredible book. The author can write. He knows how to take you through events of the past, communicate what was happening in the city or the world at that time, and make things interesting. I think he did a good job of capturing the spirit of Cleveland, and also helped us understand newspapers as they were in the 1960s, and how they've changed so dramatically in the past 50 years.

This is a pretty quick read and I was sad to finish it so soon. I'll definitely read his other book which he co-authored shortly after the Kent State shooting, and hope that he'll write more books.
