LOL...bounce away, Howlin.
Lovely to see lines like this too:
"Clinton said as much at one point. I think that was shallow. I think they were asleep at the switch," Professor Gaddis observed.
Although, I think he gives too much credit to FDR. If the reconstruction of Europe post WWII was the grand strategy, then that credit has to go to Marshall, who fought tooth and nail for his plan against a skeptical President and a resistant Congress. I have to agree with earlier posters that Truman is more deserving of presidential credit than FDR.
Still, this book should be worth a read.
