This was a little disappointing. A little too dry, a little too given to long lists of now little-known political figures who supported this or that policy plank and/or political tactic.
Gable's book is a straightforward account of the National Progressive Party's presidential campaign of 1912. Informative, but dry. I've been reading history for so long that I'm coming to expect a little dash and verve in the writing, especially if Theodore Roosevelt is involved. This was decent history, but not very good reading.
