I had never heard of this particular author before. My only exposure to his writing thus far is to read reviews on Amazon. That is inadequate and I will resolve that inadequacy as soon as the book arrives. That said, every author writes from a specific and highly personal point of view. In short, he has an agenda. I think I see Rhodes' agenda but I will reserve judgment until I read.
