I just finished it last night, TB, and I couldn't agree more. The book stunk. I was particularly disappointed because Eig did such a nice job with the Lou Gehrig bio. Maybe he should stick to sports figures. Particularly galling was Eig's description of Guzik as a Johnny Torrio flunky. Like he wasn't the second biggest Chicago gangster of his time!

Trashy, revisionist history. Save your money, folks.
