Customer Reviews

A brilliantly written biography

George Martin has written a deeply intelligent, very well researched, scholarly biography of Perkins. Using Perkins' Papers at Columbia University he offers eloquent antedote as well as well constructed historical context for Perkins' contributions & life. Superbly written, wonderfully scholarly, well worth the read.
