I’m listening to it on audiobook while I work so I miss a lot, but have learned so much regardless. You really get a sense of just how alone and desperate Britain was in the first two years of the war. I was getting rather worked up against FDR.

I'm disgusted by FDR's mistreatment of Churchill who held the line against the Nazis for years and bent over backwards for Roosevelt. FDR's and Eisenhower's and Truman's naïveté vis a vis Stalin is beyond frustrating. Churchill was the only one clear-eyed about the Russian threat.
Poland is a tragic story. Dismembered, massacred, thrown to the Russian wolves, trapped behind the Iron Curtain.

I’ve missed probably 90% of the details because I listen to it at work and have to focus on what I’m doing or get interrupted from listening, but even the 10% that has managed to percolate through has been fascinating.
