Thanks for the recommendation. I'm currently slogging through Churchill's six volume history of WW2-- it's long and detailed, but I'm enjoying Churchill's style more than I anticipated. I wish there were comparable histories by FDR and Stalin.

I completely agree with you about wanting to understand all we can while we're here!
