Yes, I'd not risk buying it before seeing it myself, although I have read some of Philip Katcher's stuff on American subjects and he seems pretty good.

Nick, when you buy it, post a review for us  ;)

Is it hardback?  I didn't see it in the description.

Oddly arbitrary time frame to cover. If it's part of a series then it makes for two rather thin books to come before and after it.
