Description
If you have read my husbandâ€s book, Not-God: A History of Alcoholics Anonymous, you may
think as I did, that you have a good understanding of that history. And you would be wrong. Writing
the Big Book zeroes in on the first five years in a way that no other history of A.A. has captured.
And these years were critical. Like a good suspense novel, this book captures the day to day
struggles these few intrepid men encountered over those years – in the heart of the great
depression…. How does a bunch of homeless alcoholics start a worldwide movement?
Schabergâ€s book tells us how they did it, tiny step by tiny step.―Linda Farris Kurtz,
Professor Emerita, Eastern Michigan University, Author of Recovery GroupsWriting the Big
Book is the most important work on the history of A.A. since Ernie Kurtzâ€s Not-God. Finally, we
have a resource that draws upon decades of recent research to separate fact from myth regarding
the origin of Alcoholics Anonymous.―William L. White, author of Slaying the Dragon
This is a book that A.A. historians will want to read and reference from now on . . . the product of
incredibly detailed research in the archives at the central A.A. office in New York City and at
Stepping Stones in Bedford Hills, New York, along with Lois Wilsonâ€s diary, and a host of other
primary sources.―Glenn F. Chesnut, Emeritus Professor of History, Indiana University
South BendWriting the Big Book details the chapter-by-chapter authoring of Alcoholics
Anonymous and provides a revealing anthology of its primary contributors . . . .The revelations
about Hank Parkhurstâ€s role in particular cast a welcome and inclusive light on his critical
importance, as he is shown to be a true unsung hero.―Arthur S., A.A. historian from of
Arlington, TXSchabergâ€s in-depth research and masterful presentation of previously
unpublished facts about A.A.â€s early history makes for an explosive package . . . Far from
presenting a dry historical record, Writing the Big Book is lively, fascinating, compelling, and
insightful―more like a thriller than a documentary.―Jay Stinnett, A.A. historianWriting the Big
Book is an invaluable contribution to Alcoholics Anonymous and its membership. Relying on
outstanding research and thoroughness, Schaberg shapes a coherent story out of a vast trove of
archival material―and reveals that the Big Book, far from being simply, divinely inspired, was the
work of perfectly flawed human beings, living and striving under great stress and difficulty.―
Kevin Hanlon, co-creator of the documentary Bill W.Writing the Big Book surprises in how well
it defines and demonstrates the condition of alcoholism, while so clearly rendering portraits of its
interesting cast of characters. I came away with a much better understanding of what some of my
dearest friends and family struggle with as alcoholics, along with a deep appreciation for the work

that went into the creation of A.A.―David Stickney, contr
