Query: rambling and trite

A rambling book, not very informative, with a marked liberal tone. Not to mention disjointed-- as far as the editorial content goes, each chapter is a totally separate book with its own thesis. I would have preferred a more cohesive work supported by the weight of objective historical evidence rather than repetitive tales of coffee house chats, anarchic newspapers, and loud-mouthed ideologues -- written in a soporific stream of consciousness.
