Abstract
Three important books have recently been published in the long shadow of William H. Riker (1920–93). Norman Schofield declares himself a friend of Riker; Gerry Mackie, an enemy; Anthony McGann, a mere acquaintance. However, Riker’s legacy gives shape to all three. The main elements of the Riker programme are explained in this article, and then how far each book under review advances or undermines it is examined.
