I finally got around to reading this book in a spasm of Trek-related reading. It's been about 35 years since I read Whitfield's "the Making of Star Trek," which I eagerly devoured at the time. I was hoping for a similar nostalgic rush from this, but it never really happened for me.

This book is a masterpiece of non fiction documentary reporting. It explains what really happned way back when far more clearly and deeply then anything I have ever read, period! We need books like these on almost every subject. This book dispells so many myths its mind boggeling. I encourage everyone to read this book even if they hate star trek, just for an example of good writing.
