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.

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

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

Try- the "Guns" Trilogy by Blackburn
where the hell are the Guns the guns of Normandy the guns of victory George Blackburn was a reporter before the war, then became FOO. A very dangerous job and the odds against you grew the longer you served. He was one of the longest serving FOOs of the war and his reporter skills make him a good writer Alas he passed away a few years ago,
