A Gentleman and an Officer: A Military and Social History of James B. Griffin's Civil War
What a misleading title!! When I opened this book, I though it would be a non fiction review of Roosevelt and his policies and actions related to the Holocaust. While the author does cover that topic, the first third of the book is primarily the author's personal experiences in that era.
At first I couldn't get past my anger at being deceived into reading this book, but the truth is some of his stories and experiences were interesting. And at a certain point, the author switched gears and started primarily reviewing FDR- going into detail about his policies (suggested reasons), and reviewing those who surrounded him.
I learned a lot from this book, but in retrospect I wish I first (and maybe only) read two books on my shelf that he referenced many times: The Abandonment of the Jews and A Race Against Death.
