...first book. White conceded that "though later historians would tell the story of the quest for power... in more precise terms with greater wealth of established fact, there might, nonetheless, be some permanent value in the effort of a contemporary reporter to catch the mood and the strains, the weariness, elation and uncertainties of the men who sought to lead America..." But here again White has failed.

Radcliffe crew, which attained Moscow in the nick of time, finishing up one season a month before the next would begin, closing out success after success with the satisfaction of knowing that despite the disparaging commentary over the course of nearly a year of effort and hope, that...
