Re: Recommended Reads

A few recommended reads that just popped into my head:

Into the Teeth of the Tiger by Don Lopez
Sigh for a Merlin by Alex Henshaw
Ghost Soldiers by Hampton Sides
Samurai by Saburo Sakai

Cheers

Re: Recommended Reads

I know that Ambrose's books are a bit 'americanised' and one-sided, but you've got to admit they are all good, interesting reads.

Lee, have you ever been to the Holocaust centre? I went there on a school trip earlier this year. We got a talk from a man who survived Aushwitz and it was overall a very interesting trip.
