مروری بر کتاب

Boom town to ghost town

The book is a popular history; we won't find precise statements carefully sourced and footnoted, but a tale told like a novel, complete with the occasional imagined scene or conversation: a device that hasn't had a place in the writing of history for a thousand years, and that doesn't improve this account either.

Plus reader beware! we will be subjected to some of the worst writing to be found on my site: the prose ranges from uninspiring to really nasty, the author very often straining for the most garish effect — and getting it — with attention-grabbing, sometimes barely grammatical quirks of style, stubbornly repeated, that make one want to set the whole thing aside in favor of something more soberly and agreeably told.
