Title: A taste of Disappointment
Review: Everyone has a right to their political opinion, but Atkinson should have kept it to himself. His book serves the cause of those against the war FROM THE BEGINNING, and not that of the historians (or journalists) fair, objective, and, if their good, thoughtful search for the truth. By all accounts, a majority of Americans supported the war, you won't get that from this book. The only "unease" felt by most Americans, was not at going to war, but at realizing how politics can blind some people to what has to be done. There are so many comments made by Atkinson that I could flag as bent, if not comically unfair, but I don't have enough space. The only really good thing I can say, is that the book is written well. But there are a lot of people who write well.I would not recommend this book. While Atkinson's "An Army at Dawn" is exceptional, this book is a tremendous let down and leaves a lingering bad taste after spending $25.00 on it.
