Wow!  How come it took 40 years to uncover these two brilliant histories of the past?  And they are well done and reviewed by the folks who did the work. Excellent history.

It contains a summary of the creation and evolution of the ARPANET and the beginnings of the Internet. Where it talks about things that I personally experienced, it agrees with my recollections.   So I tend to trust the other things it says that are new to me even today.  I thought that internet-historians might be interested too.
