I have an Amazon prime account and many of the books I get are included free with The prime membership. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The civil war book I’m reading at the moment is amazing. Didn’t realise there were so many casualties in this conflict. The Civil War was never taught at school over here……. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Reading this at the moment. Utterly fantastic and doesn't shy away from any detail from the Allied or German perspective. Also shows just how much loss of life there was in the conflict. Actually shocked me just how bad it was for the soldiers on both sides. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually shocked me just how bad it was for the soldiers on both sides. Remember going round the cemetery at Bayeux a few years back and there are some of the Hitler Jugend buried in there. My daughter would have been 17 at the time and some of the headstones indicated the occupants were the same age as her. That really shocked her and her younger brother. They were very quiet after that for a good bit. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnB Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 For about the 3rd or 4th time Clear the Bridge by Dick O'Kane. The war patrols of the USS Tang which he commanded. Excellent WW II submarine read. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GusMac Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Currently flying through this one. Very informative and takes a very even, dispassionate view of the strengths and weaknesses of all armies involved whilst emphasising the bravery of them all in pretty horrific conditions. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It's odd, how often the books featured exactly match my Amazon browsing history. Often in sequence. Weird? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I found Gladwell's narration ( and writing ) really informative and diverse, covering details in length like the Norden bombsight and various operations in Europe and Japan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
