Truman over Hitler

I had started reading Ian Kershaw's Hitler: 1936-1945: Nemesis, but I just abandoned it. I hadn't gotten very far - maybe 80 pages and I stopped reading it. Maybe it was because I picked up in the middle and didn't read Kershaw's first volume on Hitler. Maybe the print was too small or maybe I just wasn't that interested. I don't know.

Or, maybe it was because while I was away over Christmas I picked up a copy of Truman, by David McCulloch. I only started reading it the other day, but I'm really enjoying it.
