		Leonard, a mature, careful, insightful historian, has applied all of his impressive narrative and interpretive talents to this work in a successful effort to write a frank and open history of one of the most important periods in LDS history.
		Leonard traces the beginnings of plural marriage in the culture as a religious precedent begun by and participated in by Joseph Smith and continued by Brigham Young.
		The major issue, as Leonard sees it, is that Smith determined at the time of his death that the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles assumed the authority to govern the church when the prophet was no longer with them.

		Then came the First Presidency's unprecedented appointment in January 1972 of a professional Mormon historian, Leonard J. Arrington, to the position of official LDS church historian.
		It is presented for the instruction and enlightenment of the Saints, with the affirmation that the weaker Saints can become strong by knowing difficult truths about the church, that enemies of God's truth will distort to their own destruction anyway, and that the praise of the world is seductive.
