The great people's history

Revisado: 07-27-24

I have read numerous histories of the Episcopal Church. So many are placed in the context of buildings and events. What I appreciated about this one was that it was placed in the context of people. I have already recommended this book to a number of colleagues as a wonderful way to understand the broader context of people in the history of the Episcopal Church.

Meh.

There is minimal storyline or character development. This reads more like a poor history timeline than a fictional novel. it lacks a cohesiveness I would expect from Grisham.

An Excellent Historical Overview

Revisado: 12-05-21

While the the subject of the book is the impact of Bingo on the Oneida, as someone well familiar with the history I found the summary of the Oneida history to be an even better reason to recommend the book. The context established touches on almost every nuance in a way that allows the reader to have a broad understanding and the ability to research further, if so desired.

Forceful personality, New insights

Revisado: 08-02-20

It is good to get beyond what I learned about McCarthy in school. As is often the case, there is a more than just catch phrases. The tragedy of this man with so much potential, so much drive, so much ability, to focus that energy in ways that were so offensive to so many people, is clearly spelled out in this book. The observations of his downfall coming more from how he went about things, rather than what he was focusing on, give excellent insight that can be used today. Having access to records previously restricted, including his personal papers, really fills out the story in ways that previously were not able to be shared. This is a solid read, and worth the time period
