I really enjoyed Holbrook's technique of depicting history through as an inter-related web of ideas and historical personalities. As an exmple, his explanation of the underlying motiviations for Prohibition were very insightful. It was also exciting to see the evolution of the modern penitentiary system, mental hospitals, Oneida silverware and the graham cracker. These are all things that are a part of modern life and reading this history helped me to understand why they are they way they are.
