There is no way these chapters were edited, there are numerous words used incorrectly. The last two chapters really feel like they were written by a teenager who used an encyclopedia as a single reference.

Spanning the years of transition, 1944 to 1948, Ascent to Power illuminates Truman’s struggles to emerge as president in his own right. Yet, from a relatively unknown Missouri senator to the most powerful man on Earth, Truman’s legacy transcends. With his come-from-behind campaign in the fall of 1948, his courageous civil rights advocacy, and his role in liberating millions from militarist governments and brutal occupations, Truman’s decisions during these pivotal years changed the course of the world in ways so significant we live with them today.

Repeat of George Marshall
Reviewed: 10-08-24
This book repeated many sections of George Marshall verbatim, so I bought much of the same book twice. The premise is that this book concerns the transition from FDR to Truman, but much of the book is generic to WWII and its aftermath and becomes a more general discussion just taken in large sections from the George Marshall book. The other book, which I recommend, covers Truman in some detail since Marshall was Truman’s Secret of State. Very disappointed in the lack of original content.

In the Epix Original Comedy Event America 180°, Dennis Miller examines the current state of our Union. From the antics of those running Washington, to the blunders of President Obama's healthcare initiative, to our wild efforts to save the planet one light bulb at a time, his take on today's America is both hysterical and painfully right on target.

This seemed phoned - in to me. I've enjoyed his wit much more in the past.
