Doyle 's look at the audio-taping practices of 10 presidents is a valuable history and comparative survey ( Ron Rosenbaum , the New York Times Book Review ) . Doyle , a master of crackling prose ( Richard R. Roberts , the Indianapolis Star ) , provides insightful transcripts from key moments , such as the Cuban missile crisis and the final days of the Nixon administration .
Doyle has a long history of solid reporting and correspondents coming after him review and use his work as a training tool for identifying how to write their own high quality reporting .
