Review title: Check out Thomas Sullivan's helpful one-star review
Product review: I particularly appreciate Sullivan's review. The reason for getting the book was to learn a lot about the elder Pitt. Unfortunately, I won't learn it here -- because I'm not going to struggle through this unpleasant book. The Preface describes a complex and confusing situation; but McLynn only increases the confusion. Moreover, he is quite free with invective and name-calling, without offering support. He closes his Preface with an irrelevant gratuitous slam of George Washington, an even more irrelevant jab at the poet James Macpherson, and a boquet of blather. He's a bullthrower!Chapter one opens with a page-and-a-half libel against John Wesley -- just gross. So I skipped to page 96 and Pitt. Same old garbage. Consequently I examined Sullivan's review, which both convinced me to drop this garbage, and suggested better sources (It was Parkman who got me interested in Pitt).The one bit of good news for me: It's a library book! no wasted money.
