What an interesting, fast-paced read! I am thoroughly engrossed in
the 3 childhoods of these famous/infamous men. The maps are an
important part of the book and it was good that the author puts them first,
so one can go back to review them. Also, interesting to see how the 3
mothers affected them. The stories about their personal lives brings color to
these future leaders. Since all three were men of action, even FDR and his
polio, and none liked to sit on the sidelines, it’s easy to see how they
became great men in their respective countries and at this critical point in
time. Does it remind you of Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns
Goodwin, which we read last year? I know some of you enjoyed the
comparison approach and some didn’t. But here it is again!
