yelob Posted 27 November , 2011 Share Posted 27 November , 2011 Hi Marilyne, I'm going to get it as soon as I can,it comes highly recommended by Anthony Beevor for one and it cropped up on the Telegraph's books of the year if I remember right. Anyway its on my wish list on Amazon,can't wait to add to basket along with the new Bismarck bio. Best Wishes,Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose of picardy Posted 30 November , 2011 Share Posted 30 November , 2011 This looks just up my alley! Yet another book to put on the list. I will be anxious to hear some reviews when some of you have read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le_Treport Posted 23 December , 2012 Share Posted 23 December , 2012 Over a year since the last post on this, but how have people found this book? I've just started reading it, and am finding it most interesting. Such a different viewpoint from the usual British-centered view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northstar Posted 24 December , 2012 Share Posted 24 December , 2012 Well, it's on my Christmas list this year, so hopefully I'll add comments in due course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin Posted 25 December , 2012 Share Posted 25 December , 2012 It's well worth reading, as it provides a commentary on some aspects of the War not covered as much as others, eg the Eastern Front, East Africa, the Belgian Air Service, Turkish cavalry, etc. I thought it was excellent.
