4.0

McCullagh does an excellent job of laying out the facts and allowing you come to your own conclusions. A thoroughly researched book, with full bibliography to boot, and excellently articulated.

I did find some of the chapters were quite long, and so progress felt slow at some stages, although it was necessary to go into that detail in order to do it justice.

Will be getting Volume 2 - Rise, but will leave a few weeks gap and enjoy a lighter book before cracking into it.
