The Akron Genesis of Alcoholics Anonymous
This book by a retired attorney and active AA member is the fourth title in a series covering the history of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Here the author traces the origins of the 57-year-old recovery program from its roots in the Akron, Ohio home of co-founders Dr. Robert Smith and Bill Wilson. Not intended to be a guidebook, this is instead a lengthy introduction to the forces, personalities, and core groups that provide the spiritual base for AA and other 12-step programs. Other titles in the series include Dr. Bob's Library (Glen Abbey Bks., 1992); Anne Smith's (Dr. Bob's wife) Spiritual Workbook (Good Book Pub., 1992); and The Oxford Group and Alcoholics Anonymous (Glen Abbey Bks., 1992).
