Yes, I read it on the recommendation of KPJohnson.  I had
asked several people for  for a good history of TS and most seemed
to think anything written would be biased.

Another great book, if you can get it, (out-of-print) is Candles in the Sun by Lutyens.
She was there for all the Krishnamurti activities and finally left when he did.
