What an interesting book! You can certainly tell this is well researched and informed. The author even brings a levity and at time humor to such a heavy topic. Really enjoyed it.

Gripping from start to finish. I can't believe i took ao long to read this book. Tense in a way that only Stephen King can manage. I'm glad I opted for the physical copy because the added tough of the different text that was to depict the handwritten letters filling in for his typewriters missing keys was such a great touch. I loved it.
