Thoughts on the Ron Paul book by Brian Doherty.

Has anyone read this book? If so, how was it?

I liked it. It gave me more of a historical idea of who Ron was and where he came from as well as the historical sense of what the "R3volution" is. Brian does a good job of making it an easy read. Its not that expensive I'd give it a go.

I thought it was good. Brian is good at putting the bigger picture into perspective, and giving some sense of history. It was written before Ron's 2012 campaign officially came to an end, and before the GOP convention, so it feels like there should be more since that part is missing from the story... But it's overall good and worth reading. Even if you kinda already know a lot about Ron Paul, he interviewed a lot of people for the book and there's a lot of interesting quotes, etc.

I liked it, but he dwelled on one specific genre of supporters, not that that was bad, it was just an incomplete picture of Ron's supporters. But I'm glad I bought and read it.
