It has as its thesis that the men born in the 1880's--FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, and others--lived through tremendous changes and America triumphed by reason of their decisions. It is full of interesting tidbits, but its last summary chapters are a delight. How pleasant it is to have a book written about the 1940's and since which knows that the Soviet system would fail. The book is based mostly on secondary sources, but the analysis is very interesting. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Coming of age during World War I and attaining their finest hour in World War II and the Cold War, these men -- FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur -- transformed America from an isolated frontier nation into a global superpower. As he tells their stories, Fromkin, author of A Peace to End All Peace, shows how this generation not only made America great but largely succeeded in making it a force for good.
