A very sad bite (no pun intended) of reportage. The Author does yeoman's service in telling the somewhat depressing story without undue sentimentalization. Things are laid out in orderly fashion from start to finish. Just the facts. The linked-to monograph makes for additional contextual, informative, and interesting reading. A cautionary tale particularly relevant these days. The bit of friendly admonition at the end fits perfectly within the overall structure of the piece. Four stars!
