My current reading is Massacre at Oradour. Just getting started on it, but it looks to be good.

I just ordered this book, but don’t know much about it. The summary on amazon didn’t tell me a whole lot. Can you guys tell me anything about it? Would you recommend reading it? What did you like or dislike about it?]]>

I stumbled across his book over 50 years ago after getting out of school. I had read only 6 of the books that he recommended. So, I started buying the list of books in paperback. I made up book packages to be mailed to myself when I was in the infantry. I read them. It took years. Some I even read in French.

A couple of months ago, there was a new...

as a carry piece. I just barely made it thru the 3rd book and I won't be reading any of the
rest of the series. Too many stupid mistakes a little research could have prevented. Not
the first author I've quit reading due to stupid mistakes and probably won't be the last.

A researched explanation of a man who set up spy networks in Germany and the Soviet Union prior to WW2. He was a private citizen.

For myself, it filled in my gaps in knowledge about Andrei Zhdanov, Stalin's apparent successor in waiting and who was one of the Leningrad group liquidated by Stalin.

The "super spy" spoke 5 languages. His story was as fascinating as that of an American professional baseball player who was a major US spy in WW2, Mo Berg. (Mo Berg was...

I had heard it was long and unenjoyable for years. Lately though, I've heard it's an excellent story about having to deal with bad, obsessive leadership...
I can't imagine why I thought it was time to read the book.

My intent is for an initial book bomb on Monday June 20th, 2016 to kick things off with a real strong opening, but that's not going to work without people grabbing it up. It is available for pre-order now.
