For fans of his masterpiece this is a solid look at his development as a writer, but it’s no Confederacy, it’s kind of flat and slow, and I see why he never tried to publish it himself.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
