Outstanding. I read that at the end of last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is excellent.
Yes, a supurb piece of writing and work of history. I picked up a copy last month at his house in St. Louis, now a national historic site. They have a very nice new museum there, and a ranger told me there are plans for a presidential library — kind of like what they did with Lincoln in Springfield, but on a smaller scale. It’s well worth the visit if you are ever in the area.
