Indeed they did, and what a glorious writeup they did of him, too, as an ally in 1943.
My father saved a copy as a reminder of how the press can make mistakes, or worse. I never forgot that lesson.

I understand that the Person of the Year does not have to be for an honorable reason, and if they had named him because of the repression of his opposition I would understand it but their reason is stated "for an extraordinary feat of leadership in taking a country that was in chaos and bringing it stability."
Not hard to do when you silence the press, limit the political opponents from getting media coverage, etc.

Maybe I will do the same and buy a copy as a life lesson for my children. Good idea your father had.
