The author crosses a line by slamming the DSM-5
Reviewed: 11-24-21
A sleepy narrator dilutes an already narcissistic author. One whom uses unnecessarily wordy language to articulate (being generous) his thesis.
Hopes of a cogent conservative argument is instead met with a rather overly verbose read.
Will's belittling of the DSM-5 is a shock to the readers system. A disappointing and wasteful spend of coin.

When we seek an example of great leaders with unalloyed courage, the person who comes to mind is Winston Churchill: the iconic, visionary war leader immune from the consensus of the day, who stood firmly for his beliefs when everyone doubted him. But how did young Winston become Churchill? What gave him the strength to take on the superior force of Nazi Germany when bombs rained on London and so many others had caved? In this landmark biography of Winston Churchill based on extensive new material, the true genius of the man, statesman, and leader can finally be fully understood.
