Best one-stop study of Quakers I've seen so far. Balanced presentation of a fractious history. Comfortable and accessible writing.
If it is written by Hamm, it is worth reading. I read it before I began reviewing all the books I read....in other words, I was still in school and had no time! This book is good to read cover-to-cover and is also useful as a resource reference book.
