An Easy-to-Read Guide to the History of Alcoholics Anonymous

In this straightforward handbook, Orrin Onken leaves behind the dense language found in so much AA history to tell the human story of the AA fellowship in simple English, Principles and Personalities serves as a bridge to the past for newcomers and long-timers alike. Both a history and a reference book, it makes the history of AA available to all.

Inside this companion, you will find:

• The Personalities: Short, clear biographies of founders like Bill W. and Dr. Bob, along with the often-overlooked pioneers who shaped the early program.

• The Principles: Easy-to-understand explanations of the concepts, traditions, and events that made AA what it is today.

History doesn't have to be a chore. Principles and Personalities makes the heritage of Alcoholics Anonymous as accessible as a cup of AA coffee.
