327. The Gentleman from Massachusetts: Henry Cabot Lodge, by Karl Schriftgiesser (read 20 Apr 1947) On Apr 28, 1947, I said: "Tonight started reading a biography of Henry Cabot Lodge and I find I don't know my political history as well as I once did. The book seems like an ideal biography." When I finished the book I said: "Tonight finished the biography of Henry Cabot Lodge by Karl Schriftgiesser. Best biography I've read in a long time, in fact, I can think of none better. Revived thoroughly my interest in the politics of his day and in the League of Nations dispute. An excellent book." ( )
