Usually he mentions Disney in some way, shape, or form within the first 100 pages of his books.

Originally Posted By piperlynne LOL, my guess is that you never saw the mini-series either, eh alex? I'm still reading War of Necessity, War of Choice. While it is interesting, Haass seems to want to detail every little thing to the nth degree. I just now made it through Desert Storm - the minutiae gets a bit much. He summarizes very well - as I noticed in the very short chapter on the Clinton years. (Of which he was not part of the administration). So, maybe its easier for him to observe and summarize than to write in the same way when he's got a personal stake in it or something. Anyway. .so far, its been good, if not for some struggling with writing style and length of the first few chapters. You can definitely tell the guy respected Bush 1 more than Bush 2.
