By the way, Manchester was a political liberal. But he was able to put aside his biases and write objective bios of conservative great men.
I have read quite a number of Manchester’s books and I agree that while Manchester was a Liberal, he could write a very fair book on his subject matter and would put the good and the bad in it and let you make up your own mind.
His book on Douglas MacArthur was that way.
I kind of agree. First book I read by him was “Goodbye Darkness”, and have since read a number of others, including the Churchill stuff, which I thought were excellent.
Manchester was a through and through liberal, though.
