I'm a slow reader but I've finally finished "voices of war", for me a bit harder to read in parts than "over the top" and a little more comfronting at times but as Howard said a good book. Now to start "convoys up the track" thanks Cliff.

All quiet on the western front arrived in the mail the other day and I read it while waiting in town for Greg to finish work. I'm about 1/3 through Convoys up the track and now realise we learnt verry little of our history at school.

Convoys Up The Track now read, verry interisting and educational.
I now have to read my Christmas present from Greg then I'll get back to learning more of our history.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover but this one looks interesting. No connection.

Default good books

I am just finishing "Berlin Diary" by William L. Shirer....Published 20 June 1941.

The Journal of a Foreign Correspondent 1934-41

An excellent account of Nazi Germany through the eyes of an American Radio Journalist. First hand accounts of the rise to power of the National Socialist Party, a diplomatic and propogandic study of the events leading to the outbreak of war through to the middle of 1941.. An extremely interesting view of the war and life in Berlin first hand.

cheers

Mike Timoshyk
