The only downside is that it’s an overview, which is fine for a textbook, but I don’t know that I learned much new from it. Some of the anecdotes were quite interesting, and the chapter of congressional oversight was a lot of new information, but otherwise, it doesn’t have a lot of depth for anyone that’s done a lot of reading and research on the subject.
(One other interesting note: don’t let the page count fool you. The book is almost half endnotes and indexes. The main narrative of my Kindle copy ended at the 52% mark.)
