Lets assume that half of it is true.

Well, I have to give him greater credit than that - the author had access to
all of the war crimes trial records and assembled a well-researched book that I
haven't seen anyone tear apart yet. His prose is a bit over the top at times,
like when he talks of the sights and smells on a carrier in the context of the
WWII Essex class boats, and he mentions the smell of "jet fuel". A few small
mistakes like that, plus a writer likes to overuse phrases, but the end result
is well written book about a ghastly moment in human history. WEB Griffin and
other professional historians were impressed, and I think the book is worth a
read, if you don't mind a few unpleasant mental images. I came away with it
with a better understanding of George H.W. Bush as a man. No such revelations
are waiting to be revealed about his son - I believe that he will be remembered
quite harshly by history.

But I think the wirters were doing a
sales
job to engrandise the Bush name for the next election.

I couldn't confuse the two men and nothing either of them could say would
change my opinion of the current administration. I believe that politicians
should be required to wear similar coveralls to race-car drivers, with all of
their sponsors listed or represented by garrish logos. Our president has
obliterated our country's reputation in the world, and the majority of the
world and a good part of our own citizenry know it. I love my country and
can't believe how much one presidency has altered the world's perception of us.
