Not as good as Volume 1
Having read the first volume in this series, I was eager to read the second. It was quite a disappointment.The first volume was very in depth, and I looked forward to the same type of coverage in the second book. Alas, that was not the case. The NASCAR aero wars of 69-70 are barely mentioned at all, and most of the chapters are a short preamble followed by a year by year short (maybe 5-6 paragraphs) reporting of what went on in that type of racing that season. Very little of the engineering and FoMoCo internal politics that were covered so well in the first book wer covered in this book.Another big disappointment is that each seaon, of each type of racing is proceded by a "what was happening in the world that year" which would probably be interesting if it wasn't already covered so well by other books which are devoted to that type of thing. The first book was great. Buy it. The second...well, I can't recommend it.
