First edition of this biography. Ziegler is a recognized master of the field of biographical writing. He relies less on chronological "facts," and more on letters and psychological theory to draw his subjects. The psychological insights are often intriguing, but still very much open to the reader's interpretations and speculations...Pronouncements made on the mental states of his subject are NOT definitive, and any historical figure can only be "analyzed" into so much depth before the reader may feel a bit of a broad brush by the writer. Despite Ziegler's credentials, the subjects of his biographies are at times subject to over-simplified views of the author. Bearing that in mind, the reader will be drawn-into the subject...History does not always "jive" with later psychological theorists...Still, an interesting read.Read full review
