It's about the best non-baseball related non-fiction book that I've read in the last year, and it was a bit slow out of the gate, despite the necessary information contained within.
Keep spreading the news. This is one "conspiracy" that's been blown open, and it's time for every US citizen to acknowledge its reality.
