The Johnstown Flood
Author David McCullough leads the reader down the tragically preventable path
that led up to the Johnstown flood. McCullough spares no detail describing the
greed and lack of accountability in the Glidden age while acquainting the
reader with the victims, survivors and the villains. McCullough’s account of
the flood will interest any history buff and should be required reading for law
students in order humanize the need for the strict liability standard.
Black Mass
Lehr and O’Neill’s Black Mass reads more like a best seller crime thriller than
a true rendering of organized crime and corruption. Chapter by chapter they
strip away any illusions some might harbor regarding Whitey’s character and
bring to light the suffering of his victims and their families.
