"The Nation Pays Again" makes for an interesting, if somewhat bitter, read. Sure it's one-sided as are any books dealing with history, but that's the nature of the beast. In reading any book of history or documentation of a business, you're bound to get the author's point of view on the matter no matter how "fair and balanced." You can't blame Thomas Ploss for being bitter over how the Milwaukee's management seemingly dropped the ball time and time again and eventually wrecked the company, but in retrospect, he should have reigned in his emotions and looked at things more objectively. <br /> <br />Just how much of a hornet's nest did The Nation Pays... stir up with the Milwaukee management, or was the controversy limited to mutterings among the executives? I know at least one executive considered the book a "hatchet job."
