Given that he essentially reiterates what I say when I lecture about the origins of the COld War, I'd say he pretty much nails it. :-)
My one regret about grad school was that I chose AU over Ohio University (not Ohio State) for my master's. I could live at home for free at AU, so my MA was essentially cost-free. In fact, I even made money! At the time, Gaddis was at Ohio. I'd have loved to study under him. Unfortuately, when it came time to choose a PhD program, he had moved on to Yale -- and there was no way I could have afforded that, especially with a kid in tow.
