Title: A much needed work
Review: This scathing rebuttal to the commonly accepted version of the personal events in Ayn Rand's life is a much-needed work. It succeeds primarily by using the Branden's own published words against them - demonstrating (as only a prosecuting attorney could) their abhorrent exploitation of the very woman who provided the only success they could ever claim. It also lays bare the souls of the Brandens - and shows why it is not surprising that they still continue to profit from trivializing her legend long after her death.The personal lives of authors and philosophers are generally of little import in understanding their works and ideas. However in this case, the Ad Hominem attacks fueled by the Branden's deceptions have all but crippled scholarly debate on the subject of her philosophy. Hopefully, this work will help to rectify that situation. In any event, it is gratifying to know that Ayn Rand has her own "Prince Valliant" providing a much-needed defense. Well done.
