Anybody read this? Is it any good or typical lib takes both sidesing things? It was recommended to me by a fervent Economist reader so I wonder what's wrong with it.

There is indeed one chapter where he discussed usage of former Axis personnel in the Eastern Bloc (I’d be unsurprised if that was a concession to the publisher), but otherwise it is worth reading.
