lol I’m determined not to finish

I’m a moderate, so I like to stay away from books containing endorsement blurbs from Rachel Maddow - or Ben Shapiro. The preface mentions FDR giving Stalin “the benefit of the doubt” (true) “an attitude not shared by ally…Winston Churchill” (false; they’d competed to befriend & understand him) “nor Roosevelt’s successor, Harry Truman” (true). It’s a bit concerning the author didn’t know that.
