I don't think he is blatant about it. He at one point reports a regret of his role in sending many to their deaths, but then he moves on.

I agree with you about his style but at times I felt some of the facts were twisted just a bit to show himself in a better light. I do think I'll get another copy of this and re-read it now that I have around 20 other books relating to that same time frame. Well done and keep reading!Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05315015490015014552noreply@blogger.com
