Gnomey will become famous soon enough
When I have finished the one I am reading at the moment ("Wings of War" Laddie Lucas) I will be starting "The Faraway War" By Richard Aldrich

Have chance of getting the Patton book by Carlo D'Este. Is it worth getting your thoughts please.

I've just today started reading Stalingrad by Antony Beevor. I am already familiar with his other book, Berlin, which I really enjoyed, and it is on the strength of that that I invested the £14.99 (€22.00) on this one.

I've got a copy but haven't got round to reading it yet. Let me know how you get on with it please, St Ives. I also read Berlin and really enjoyed it.

Will do. I must say initially that so far it is proving to be a thoroughly good read.
