What Are You Reading ?

[Music Head]

A real page turner for me. No, seriously. All 700+ pages. Kept going back to read parts I didn't fully understand. Then would read more than I planned on at a sitting, because some event was taking place. Could be the best history book I have ever read. Goes all the way back to the 1400's. I don't think the author was there then. Didn't ake to much to jump ahead to the 1800's when the French got involved, deciding the country was theirs. Onlt took them a 100 or so years to clear that up. Then the dumb ass U.S. decided we had to use that domino theory rubbish. Once the book gets to the war years, the political battles that take place are as interesting as the military battles. Who will overthrow who in what country, having an impact on the end. Oh yeah, we lost.

Grade - A

next up - Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
