Larry Kryske has provided Jock the cat with a translator and a publisher, offering a charming insight into Churchill’s old age. He asks you only to suspend disbelief and accept that cats, after all, are people too. Notably, Jock never refers to WSC as “my master,” but rather as “my human.” Theirs was a partnership of equals: a “Grand Alliance.” There is solid history here too, as it can be delivered by an author steeped in knowledge.

Leahy was also to serve as the first chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff above General Marshall, Admiral King, and General Arnold of the Army Air Corps. Leahy rarely took a contentious point of view during JCS deliberations. Instead he preferred to persuade FDR in private on courses of action he favored.
