Infinitesimal Lorentz Transformations

In Weinberg's Gravitation and Cosmology, the author mentions that an infinitesimal Lorentz transformation (in the four-vector representation of the Lorentz group) has the form $$Lambda^{alpha}_{phantom{alpha}beta}=delta^{alpha}_{phantom{alpha}beta}+omega^{alpha}_{phantom{alpha}beta}.tag{$dagger$}$$ It is then straightforward...
