Sorry I'm a little over sensitive in belief over years Marshall has started to get overlooked by more and more students of the war.

Try Gaddis's biography of George Kennan it is brilliant

I respect your opinion on the book ,but disagree with speaking for other senior military officers ,they may entirely agree with you or only partially agree,or even may agree with the author.But that depends on each officers personal experiences not all are the same,I say this with great respect.

William Leuchtenburgs ,In the Shadow of FDR:From Truman to George W. Bush , shows how every President has been influenced since FDR.

Eric Foner Columbia University

The Longest Night:A Military History of the Civil War by David Eicher ,Forward and Introduction by James Macpherson

Andrew Robert's 976pg biography well known author

Might try Simon Schama's History of Britain vol. 1

Read Iris Changs book "The Rape of Nanking " over 200,000 men where slaughtered over 20,000 rapes by Japanese soldiers.And Japanese invaded because they wanted China and Korea,conquest very simple.

Thank you for this it's excellent Haig is one I've always heard of but never studied him and his effect I do appreciate it.

Had quick question notice of 3 books finished the biography not much detail yet gave it decent rating was there reason or just not enough room?

I recently read Facing the Mountain:An Inspiring Story of Japanese American Patriots in World War 2 by Daniel James Brown ,it tells of both Interned and Soldiers of Japanese American decent who fought in World War 2

The Portuguese Empire 1415-1808 by A.J.R. Russell-Wood

What is your impressions of these collaborations,my only thought was many of there points have previously been ,do you feel these books are originals or restatement of points other books have made.

I really liked a short biography by Edmund S. Morgan of Yale University only 354 pages, much more philosophical in nature trying to understand Franklin's true beliefs.Gorden Wood called it "the best short biography ever written"

On Canada check out author Mark Zuehlke ,he has 3 books on the subject.

On Napolean might start author Adam Zamoyski who wrote a biography and 1812:Napoleans fatal march,or Dominic Lieven's Russia against Napolean,and David Gates 1803-1815 the Napoleanic Wars or Gates The Spainish Ulcer.

I know he has written a lot in cooperation with Bill O'Reilly, ,and has very diverse subjects to his books

You might look at biographies by Phillip Short of Mao,Pol Pot ,and his recent one of Putin.And also R.J.B. BOSWORTH works on Mussolini and Italy.

"The Embarrassment of Riches" by Simon Schama

"The Battle for Spain 1936-1939 by Antony Beevor

Is this the biography by Volker Ullrich

I read "Great Triumvirate " many years ago mostly cause of Acedemic Historian and author Merrill Peterson ,who was famous for his works on Thomas Jefferson .I remember feeling he strived to be fair to all 3 subjects ,though Calhoun because his race beliefs was difficult. Peterson is an excellent author and writes great books. I've also read Brands a historian from University of Texas , though I haven't read this specific book,Triumvirate is from 1987 ,Founders is 2018,personally I favor Triumvirate just enjoyed reading the author easier.

Only thing I know is "Homage to Catalonia " George Orwells book on fighting in the Spainish Civil War in the middle to late 1930s.

Guelzo is a favorite of mine try his Robert E Lee biography sometime .
