I fail to see how a simple overview of a book about the pre-war conditions in Germany, needs to somehow draw parallels to current events - or re you refering to NPR in general?

Both John Bachelor and Milt Rosenberg (WGN Chicago ) reviewed the book. In Bachelor’s 1 segment review he for some reason concenstrated on Dodd’s daughter who hooked up with the head of the emerging GESTAPO and also shacked up with Stalin’s chief spy in Berlin. . But he did conclude with FDR’s contribution to foreign policy promoting American style democracy and idealism which since FDR’s time which has been followed by every president excepting the present one.
