Appreciated Praise But Not the Omission of History

Revisado: 08-23-21

I thought book shed light on many who deserved praise as well as those who did not deserve it. I thought more explanation should have been given regarding the reasons for isolationism. After WWI, America strongly disagreed with France and Britain's exorbitant amt of the monetary wartime reparations and land grab policies imposed by the Versailles Treaty, the main catalyst for WWII. They crippled recovery in Germany and the European economy. Britain refused to devalue the pound out of pride, with not enough to back it up. Since England then held the currency ratios were based on, it destabilized money all over Europe. America disagreed with Imperial nature of the British because they gained land at end of WWI and the US who had bailed them out felt the same would happen again. At the end of WWI the only land in Europe used by the US was the cemetery at Verdun. Even though we fought that War, the British and Fench would forgo the punative behavior which the US thought would keep Europe from recovering, as was the case. Therefore, isolationism was strongly felt because our boys lost their lives for what seemed like purely the wrong reasons. Therefore the US did not trust the same might happen again. That is why the US did not feel generous about giving lives again. Not as this author implies that we were careless and greedy. As history now shows, casualties and delays were born in WWII (MONTGOMERY and ITALY) based on England's and/or WC need for appearances or glory to enhance British ego, while we were expected to do supplies and young lives. I am not anti anyone. I just think a lot of background history was left out which better explains the US hesitancy in wanting a War that England had already preached appeasement as a solution which, again, our advice was not sought before giving away someone else's homelands (Austria and Checz) in order to agree with that appeasement treaty. Their governments were not even invited to the meeting! What was the US supposed to think???

Uranium and Russia

Revisado: 03-27-21

The selling of uranium by the Clinton's can only be done with info gained during their corrupt political life. This unfortunately informs us that Chelsea's values are just as corrupt. She runs foundation that made the deal even more despicable. It's treason. No wonder emails etc need to be secret as well as illegal. I'm surprised the millions worth of White House property they removed when they left are not discussed more nowadays.

Most complete fair biography.

Revisado: 03-22-21

Thanks to the author for telling a truth I've always suspected. VL was the brains and Olivier was just an actor who was not even smart enough to recognize she had loads more talent. Her biggest failing was loving him.
