There was a nice piece on NPR this morning about the book by Larry Tye.

If you have not read this book, I recommend you get it immediately. It is a wonderful history lesson told in story form.

It is a interesting book but I would have prefered hearing from the men who worked the jobs and less from the author. But, that is just me.
