This book is a huge disappointment. There is nothing new in it. The narrative is disjointed and starts with Yankee history, wanders over to President Carter, then back to Mayor Lindsay, adds a couple of cheap shots at other sportswriter (who Kahn objectively tells us are poor writers), knocks the Times, describes some mid-season games in excessive detail and continues on and on with bloated text, self-importance, self-righteousness without the semblance of structure, wit or storyline.The 1978 Yankees were a mess, but they were winners. This book, unfortunately, is just a mess.
