The Master Up Close
Thins book brings the life - the foibles and the academic mastery - of this great but flawed man into perspective. Monk's research is daunting in its depth, and if the book suffers at all, it's from the volume of detail, which might make the book seem burdensome to the casual reader. Still, a great book!
