Very thorough look at all aspects of this case, getting into great detail. It's impossible to conclude now what actually happened, but all the circus is examined, with errors on both sides. The author has a smooth writing style that keeps you going even through advanced chemistry, and the pictures throughout the book are excellent, some of them quite rare, I'm sure (such as the poor panel of Kentucky officials studying advanced chemistry).
