The United States did release many different documents of foreign policy in an attempt to either expand and better themselves or just prop up other nations. The Truman Doctrine was one of these polices to affect the relationship with Europe as a whole.

The distractions in the world cause a sort of fuzziness about the truth. In order to clear out the fuzziness…

Shadowlands begins with C. S. Lewis giving a lecture on love,…
