Perlstein's more recent book, Nixonland, was better, but this is a good read in its own right, too

I tend to go for the kind of history book that's crammed full with sexy anecdotal details, but so far this seems like more of a book of broad themes.

I bought this book by mistaking Stilwell for the guy who led the Flying Tigers, Claire Lee Chennault. Got the names mixed up; Stilwell was the jag who antagonized Chennault. Well, I suppose it'll be more or less the same history anyway, so no big loss.
