Excellent conversation.
Big fan of Mr. Roberts—but I still am awaiting an answer to a question I politely posed to him some time ago. To wit: as fine a history was THE STORM OF WAR, how did he manage to avoid the name of Gen. Curtis LeMay—good or bad his influence on the air war in Europe and Japan were extraordinary.
