Negative Positive
Title: A real disappointment!
Review: The introduction is littered with an embarrassing assortment of ad hominem attacks against President Bush's administration. Unfortunately, the rest of the book doesn't get much better.The book, disappointingly, takes an unabashedly pro-Communist slant, as exemplified in Chapter XIV page 276:"... Much of the American diplomacy after Truman got into office was clumsily based on explicit or implicit threats by the Americans of using the A-bomb. We effectively rejected sharing of the bomb's secrets with our allies, except for limited cooperation with Britain. But Russia, also an ally in World War II, was frozen out - with the consequent festering of paranoia on the part of Stalin. Another lost opportunity for Truman, or whatever power elite was running the country."The author's kidding, right? ... well, no, he's not.I did finish the book but, in hindsight, I should have put it down after reading the introduction.
