This evening I have been searching for a definitive, honest biography of the man. Attendant to that search has been this nagging question: How does one locate the best history books and biographies? It is not as easy as it sounds.
My rule of thumb is any scholarship done Postwar is suspect.
I have always treasured printed books. I own many, they are treasure. Today’s online information is more inaccurate than any Hollywood movie.
I thought about donating or purging books as we are scaling down, but having second thoughts. I think I will throw out other things and keep my books.
look for them in out of print books - perhaps printed in the 60s or earlier. Haunt used book dealers shops, even once in a while something turns up on Amazon. Found Morison, Commager, Lauchtenburg’s “The Growth of the American Republic” 7th edition there.
