Just started reading Cold War: A New History by John Lewis Gaddis. It's an average length book but god damn it puts a lot of information in that short length, have to keep rereading paragraphs as its overwhelming my brain.

Bought my dad the book The Road Not Taken by Max Boot for his birthday, it's a HUGE book! Wouldn't be surprised if he'll finish it and then it'll be his next birthday!

How does your dad find Max Boot's writing style? Been sitting on buying that book for a while!

Haven't managed to give it to him yet. I was lucky enough to buy it for £3 so it wasn't as much of am expense.

Not a problem, happy birthday to your dad! Wishing you and him many years of health, happiness, and blessings.

Try Gaddis's biography of George Kennan it is brilliant
