Franklin And Winston

I loved this book. It was absolutely fascinating. Meacham expertly split his narrative between Franklin and Winston, a task that's not easy to do. It made me more than eager to read the Last Lion. (I'm currently on the reserve list at the library for two of the three volumes.) I would love to be able to write a better review but I have only one thing left in my notes. (That's what I get for not writing the reviews right away.) I finished the book with the thought of just how striking the connection between Roosevelt and Stalin was. It made me think of what might have happened had Roosevelt lived long enough to see the reveal of Stalin's true nature.
