What Karl's reading

After three years preparing The Triumph of William McKinley by reading very little but books, letters, articles and newspapers from the Gilded Age, I’m trying to get back into my regular routine, which I’ll chronicle here with an occasional review of what I’ve read.

The Athena Project
By Brad Thor

Thor’s terror war super-operative, Scot Harvath, makes only a token appearance in this fun, trashy, wild ride of a thriller.

FDR, Dewey, and the Election of 1944
By David M. Jordan

This is a fun volume on an often-over looked presidential contest. 

Socrates: A Man for Our Times
By Paul Johnson

Once again, the English historian and biographer has written a slim, brilliant volume on a man who moved history.

Colonel Roosevelt
By Edmund Morris

When it came out in 1979, I read Morris’s THE RISE OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT in nearly one gulp.
