Negative Positive
Title: Over-rated
Review: The book is boring. Perhaps Brokaw is trying to pat himself and others of his age on the back. As young men they fought in WWII- they did not lead it. Their track record as leaders is debatable. As President's go, it seems unlikely that Kennedy, JOhnson, Nixon, Carter, Ford or Bush (HW) will ever be highly rated. Reagan was outstanding so give them a point.Internationally the did not solve the issues of the Mid-East or Northern Ireland. Science marched on but the pace did not change.Even if you except his conclusion, the book is not compelling. TV journalists do well in 60 second, heavily edited snippets. This book did not engage for much more than that.I am glad I borrowed it.
Is the review positive or negative?
