Title: A major disappointment
Product review: This book has been widely touted, so I talked two other political scientists into plowing through it for our reading group. We found the book to be a major disappointment.The authors have an argument to make, but the quality of their qualitative and quantitative evidence is at best uneven. The survey analysis seldom includes multivariate tests and the interview sources, while extensive, are episodically not comprehensively analyzed. By the end of the book, we had little confidence that the conclusions the authors presented were well supported by their evidence.It's a readable book, but it is difficult to put much faith inits conclusions.
