In this study, the author finds a degree of continuity and some elements of underlying unity in the varied and idiosyncratic thoughts of these men.

DIGGINS, Journal of American History One can immediately grant the honesty and conviction [of this work], but the third quality that impresses the reader...is a highly impressionistic style. - A.
