I finished reading this book a couple of weeks ago and would definitely concur with Greg's opinion. The first-person accounts really make it worthwhile and it seemed quite factual (to what I know of the subject). I haven't read that many titles on this so I couldn't say if it offered much that was really new.
Don't let the Camel put you off! I would recommend it.
I had just read a similarly titled book (forget the author's name) published in the 60's which was quite awful - chock-full of the usual clichés and misinformation - went to great lengths to disparage MvR. The only thing that made it interesting was it's day-by-day format - not that it was accurate.
