Concur. I think future historians will look back at this period with wonder--and not the good kind.

Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.

Thank you for hiring Mr. Scott Brick for the narration of your work. I can finally listen to your books. He brings life and warmth to the story. My friend saw you at the dentist. 🦷 🤣

My favorite detective series. The best, I think, is "Roseanna," but they're all great.

Every summer I read a mystery/suspense writer in chronological order. This summer, I read the Martin Beck series written by the Swedish husband & wife team of Sjowall & Wahloo from 1965-1975. All 10 are terrific, getting better and better.

Lukacs's "Five Days" is excellent. For a really original take on Churchill I recommend David Lough's "No More Champagne: Churchill and His Money."

No apology necessary. But thanks all the same!

I owe @exlarson a huge apology. I didn't immediately grab "The Demon of Unrest" because I was told it compared Jan. 6 to the Civil War. I deserve much criticism in falling for that fake news. Finally reading it now. Fantastic stuff as always. Sorry, Mr. Larson.
