	WashingtonPost.com: Levey Live - Presidential Crises (with guest Michael Beschloss)
		Michael Beschloss: The problem with talking about a crisis like this when it is still unfolding is that it is impossible to make lasting judgments on the basis of facts that may quickly change or become outdated.
		Michael Beschloss: The amazing thing is that most of the presidents of the last half of the 20th century have one thing in common: They were viewed very differently by historians and later generations of Americans than they were by their contemporaries while they served in office.
		Michael Beschloss: If this crisis grows more intense, as Watergate did, history suggests that it will be very damaging to the Democrats in the mid-term elections this year and could cast a shadow over Democratic chances in the year 2000.

	The Chronicle: 2/15/2002: Michael Beschloss: Celebrity Meets Scholarship
		Michael Beschloss is a good-looking man. He has a soft, pleasant voice.
		In his research for the book, Beschloss mined all the relevant documentary sources (including some British diplomatic archives that no academic historian had ever used), interviewed every surviving witness of the relationship who was willing to talk, and mastered all of the existing secondary literature.
		The book's special virtue is that it documents the extent to which both Kennedy and Khrushchev stumbled to the brink of nuclear war on the basis of misperceptions that each had inadvertently created in the mind of the other, usually in the course of trying to quell domestic constituencies.

	Michael Beschloss & Richard Norton Smith: Their Commentary on the Republican Convention
		Beschloss argued that that there may be a future for Schwarzenegger in presidential politics "if the Constitution is amended some day and if the Republican Party does feel it wants to move back to the center." They thought he might be particularly helpful winning the immigrant vote.
		Beschloss observed that in 1992 Lawrence Walsh indicted members of the Bush administration in connection with the Iran-contra scandal, and suggested George H.W. Bush was more involved than originally believed.
		Beschloss said that in Nixon's speech in 1972 "the language was not memorable, but what he was conveying was with the I'm the guy who made the opening to China, who was doing diplomacy with Russia, on the verge of ending the Vietnam War.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: The Conquerors, by Michael Beschloss, Hardcover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Beschloss provides an engaging, if not revelatory, narrative of key events leading up to the conferences at Yalta (Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin) and Potsdam (Truman, Churchill, Stalin) and the Allies' decisions about how to prevent future aggression by post-WWII Germany.
		Beschloss' account of U.S. policy toward Germany during the war integrates new archival research to place some of the war's crucial actors and events in illuminating new perspective.
		Beschloss' sensitive portrayal of the difficulties of assimilated, educated Jews such as Morgenthau with a political culture still strongly influenced by antisemitism is both disturbing and moving.

	Bookreporter.com - THE CONQUERORS by Michael Beschloss
		The title of the new book from Michael Beschloss is completely accurate, once you understand the meaning of THE CONQUERORS: Roosevelt, Truman and the Destruction of Hitler's Germany, 1941-1945.
		Beschloss concentrates not on the destruction of German military might but on the destruction of the idea of Hitler's Germany.
		Furthermore, Beschloss provides little or no detail about the crucial issue of how and why the Morgenthau Plan was dropped in favor of the more lenient (and ultimately more successful) Marshall Plan.

	RJGPublicthoughts :: William vanden Heuval answers Michael Beschloss -March 2003
		In his book, Beschloss denies this, asserting that in spite of a growing body of evidence in the summer and fall of 1942 pointing towards the mass execution of the Jews, FDR chose to hide the extent of what he knew and remain "silent" on the issue in 1942 and 1943.
		Beschloss quotes from the December 17, 1942 Allied Declaration on war crimes as evidence to support his argument that FDR preferred not to mention the Jews when speaking of Nazi atrocities, noting only the "mass executions" of "many hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children." But Beschloss is wrong.
		Beschloss and others broadcast that it is the killers who bear the responsibility for their deeds.

	Michael Beschloss
		Called by Jay Leno "the handsomest political historian I've ever seen" and by Newsweek the "nation's leading presidential historian", Beschloss is criticized by historians on three general grounds.
		Beschloss may not produce the most unique scholarship, but scholarship is there and he does his own, original research.
		Finally, Beschloss writes histories that concentrate more on politics and less on the "History of Ideas".

	The Crisis Years Review - Michael R. Beschloss
		This volume examines U.S.-Soviet relations from 1960 to 1963, a period which Beschloss appropriately labels the “crisis years” because it was a period in which the two great powers came closer to nuclear war than at any other time in history.
		Beschloss claims that Khrushchev desired rapprochement with the U.S. so that he could cut Soviet military spending and use the funds for consumer goods.
		Kennedy, Beschloss argues, consistently misjudged Khrushchev, pursuing policies which unnecessarily brought the U.S. and the Soviet Union to the brink of war.

		Rather Beschloss, in a manner similar to David Halberstam and Stephen Ambrose takes a narrative, expositional and non-scholarly linear approach to the subject.
		Beschloss spends a lot of time chronicling the various plans that were proposed and not enough on why none of those plans ever came to pass.
		Beschloss is an obvious devotee to FDR and he considers him the most important world leader of the 20th century, but the book is even-handed in its assessment of FDR's handling of the war and post war Germany.
