Okay, I've already got one problem with something he asserts. He suggests that Reagan was "passive" in dealing with Gorbachov and things would have been worse if Reagan had been "stronger" against him. Reagan called the Soviet Union the evil empire and challenged Gorbachov by name at the Berlin Wall to tear it down, and people on the left cursed him as a mad man who was going to provoke nuclear war. I don't see how could be described as weak in dealing with the Soviets. Responding positively but firmly to Gorbachov's gestures does not chnge the fact that Reagan was a hard conservative who did not compromise when it came down to the line. 8)
I only gave that link as a source of information about Sherwood Moran and his method of interrogating Japanese POWs.
