So, the subtitle of this book really hooked me. That book sounded awesome. However, the book I read was not as awesome. Mainly, the author talked about people and events like everyone already knew what he was talking about. I wanted there to be a stronger argument and there were mainly just anecdotes. I can't describe it but the whole tone of the this book really bothered me.
