Their personalities and the lives they lived were so fascinating
that it was easy to get distracted. But the superb writing will be
there long after these incredibly talented men are gone. . . . This
book captures it all." - Ann Richards
"Davis captures the group and their times so well that one could
almost believe he was standing somewhere in the shadows observing
these men as they played out the events of their lives." -
Southwestern Historical Quarterly
"Fascinating . . . a vivid account of their extraordinary lives as
well as a no-holds-barred examination of their work." - Houston
