Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 yeah its cool, starts off with the Boer war (JUST the end of the 19th C), a war that I'm not genned up on at all, thru the 1st world war, the Easter Rising in Ireland, the spanish war and I'm currently at the end of WWII. I love war history books. Link to post Share on other sites
Mantas 3 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wild Swans, can't remember the author off hand, but its about 3 generations of women in the same family from before the war, through the chinese revolution Read that some years back. Unbelievable in sight to locked up China. If my parents generation had fed me so many lies. I would disown them. Tubby, if you like war history stories then you might like this guy. http://www.booktopia.com.au/Peter-FitzSimons/author22.html?gclid=CM-FoZfU9q4CFcODpAodfnkJwA He's written a some books on a couple of Australian war campaigns. Purely from an Australian perspective though. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Tubby, is it a reasonably light read or a chronicle of facts figures and dates? It takes a real talent to cover all the facts and still make it an entertaining read. Link to post Share on other sites
