Ross Browne had yet to receive solid biographical treatment. Coincidentally with this work, several new books became available on Browne and this gap has now been filled to a large extent. This work is principally documentary in nature, although the author provides a thorough assessment of Browne's significance at the end of the book. Also included is a bibliographical listing of the writings of Browne in serial publications and in books, documentary reports and pamphlets."
