I haven't read this particular book but enjoyed "The Theory that would not die"[1] which also details the historic conflict between frequentists and the bayesian statisticians. Not sure which is the better book but "The Theory..." has a lot more Goodreads ratings than this one.

I should check this out!

Bernoulli's Fallacy is pretty new though, it was originally published (hardcover) in August 2021. Which likely explains why GoodReads has more ratings, since it's barely been a year yet and books like this aren't exactly the mainstream vogue.

Thanks for the recommendation though, I'll (eventually, backlogs are a disease) have to add it to my collection.
