I've read the Reynolds and to use the term Revisionism, i think, is a little strong. Perhaps the focus isn't on Detroit/Chicago exclusively but that doesn't make it a revisionist text just more of a UK bias. It is subjective journalism after all, which he makes clear. Will track down the Garret, sounds like a worthwhile read. Howard
