...Truman-hack away at his whole foreign policy program with a meat ax all along the line." Fair-Dealing Doris Fleeson even started one column: "The President has lost his budget fight." Lawrence, who is still being bombarded with critical mail for his defense of the budget, disagreed. "The tide," he wrote, "is turning. The President is relying on the simple theory that common sense and the facts will win the case in the court of public opinion." Partially joining him in this was the New York Times's James B.

...Perhaps the Congressional Democrats have realized that responsibility for Democratic programs cannnot be blithely cast off without political loss. Perhaps this explains Rayburn and Johnson in their "respectable" about-faces.

But unlike Bryant's objective histories, The Turn of the Tide has an air of special pleading, works too hard at the job of building up Alanbrooke and low-rating those who, like General Marshall and Admiral King, were often in disagreement with...
...setting forth the American tactical claims, Morison attacked the assertion in Sir Arthur Bryant's newly-published book, The Turn of the Tide, that "all strategy issued from the massive brain of Sir Alan Brooke." He wrote that Bryant's book reflects "an abysmal ignorance of the war on his part ... while his remarks on the war in the Pacific are fantastic...
