Yes, It is story like and there is lot of extra details. So I read first line of paragraph, if it feels relevant, i continue, otherwise I jump to the next paragraph. However, I carefully note down all the dates given in this book. Further, the thing that I like about this book is this book is very critical of every development and every president of USA history. If you note, other books contains lots of bragging and try to explain every point in positive light. However, this book contains dark side of everything.
For example, Everyone praise Abraham Lincoln but this book presents other side of him with proof. I hope I made my point clear.....
