Title: Editor needed!
Product review: This promising and potentially important historical study is all but ruined by the author's inability to control his subject matter. There's no denying that Hennessy knows his stuff. What he *doesn't* know is how to write. In a phrase, this book is a mess. It rambles, wanders, and meanders through fifty years of history and politics. For most readers (certainly this one) the result is a series of anecdotes. I should add that an American edition should have included a glossary of political terms and abbreviations. All in all, a disappointing piece of work that promised so much.
