The Oxford Group roots of AA Idaho John If you will read this book carefully you may grasp just how much the absolutes of the Oxford Group influenced Bill W and his understanding of how spiritual principles might impact alcoholism. However unlike the previous two reviewers, I find this book neither inspiring nor a cover up of Frank Buchman's supposed infatuation with Nazi Germany. The book is scholarly in content and presentation but is not - in this reviewer's opinion only - material that would have contributed to this writer's entering recovery and coming to understand the principles as outlined in the Big Book and the 12 and 12.
