Telling the story of the Battle for Hong Kong, #SOE Force 136, and the making of modern Canada by Rick Green.
Many would call "Asia's fractured peace", national liberation movements attempting to regain independence. Had he lived, would Roosevelt have behaved differently towards the Brits, French, and Dutch than Truman? Or would he have backed his former allies in Realpolitik of the forthcoming Cold War?

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

Yes, the racism of the White Dominion was painfully experienced by all people of colour at that time. We are a better country when we give all people the opportunity to reach their full potential, your find example a case in point.
