Title: A Different Slant
Review: The title is misleading as the scope of this book is narrow in focus. Notwithstanding that, this book is very worthwile to someone interested in the Second World War. Yes, it does appear at times that this book is a biograhpy of Morganthou. However, there is fresh information and look at the political influences behind the Allies post war plans for Germany.The book does amplify Churchill's foresight in his concern of a post-war Soviet Union. The decisions may not have been as rationally made by the Roosevelt administration as one would expect; however, the book illuminates post war thinking of a strong or weak Germany to provide a buffer or balance for the Soviet Union.A must read for students of the political history of World War II.
