Help. Just read (listened to )the Conclusion and the first two chapters.
This book is way, way, way worse than I had feared. Think David Halberstamn written by Tina Brown.
This Morning Joeification of history is like watching the 1985 World Series umpired by someone wearing 2-D glasses. And this nearly completely ahistorical (in the sense of lacking any sense of cumulative development of the National Security State that opposed its NOMINAL leader) view is being paper cliched into millions of skulls via internet classes. I am reminded of the Mekons refrain "isn't plastic surgery wonderful?" It might prove a serious option if I survive this book.
It is, truly, an efficient use of our time to review and broadly circulate myriad criticisms of this book.
Way more people will read this trash than did Bug's coffin-weight.
