So has anyone actually read this book? I think it’s a book I’ve been known to pretend to read in the past. In general, I’d be more comfortable with a president drawing lessons from serious historical scholarship rather than these kind of pop histories they sell in airports.
UPDATE: Sources are telling me it’s a good book. Disparaging remarks rescinded pending me getting a copy.
