It was due to finish at 9:21 pm. In the end they went for £17.17 inc P&P.

Finished The Starvation Blockades: Naval Blockades of World War 1 by Nigel Hawkins.

This well written book covers the surface blockades by the RN, the Otranto Barrage and the attempts at enacting an undersea blockade of the Entente powers by Germany's U-Boat force. Hawkins demonstrates how successive (mostly British) violations of international law regarding blockades and contraband helped escalate the naval war to the German declaration of unrestricted submarine warfare, first in 1915 and again in 1917.

Excellent and enlightening work for anybody interested in the Great War at sea.

A lot cheaper than I paid about six years ago...volume two is usually the dearest.

102 Minutes by J.Dwyer and K.Flynn about 9/11 and WTC towers.
The Glass Room by S.Mawer. A great story which I started reading last year as it was a part of the Booker Prize Winners course.

U-88 Das Kriegstagebuch. Very interesting book.

Jimbuna · 10-20-12, 10:33 AM

Die Deutsche Kriegsmarine Vol 2, Light Warships by Ulrich Elfrath

sharkbit · 10-25-12, 01:21 PM

Mock me if you will, but I just finished the Harry Potter series a couple of weeks ago.

Finished "Taught to Kill: An American Boy's War from the Ardennes to Berlin" by John Babcock.

Started "Panzer Grenadier Aces: German Mechanized Infantrymen in WWII" by Franz Kurowski.

Jimbuna · 10-25-12, 04:48 PM

The latter is a particular good read

10-25-12, 04:54 PM

Finished Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy by Diana Preston.

If you only intend to read one book about the sinking of RMS Lusitania, avoid this one like the plague.

Red October1984 · 10-25-12, 09:44 PM

I just started Red Storm Rising about a week ago.

But.....Its my last Clancy until the new one comes out. Ive read all the other ones.

Ive also read his "Panzer Aces II" and "Infantry Aces". Both are good reads although a little uneven at times.

I still have "Panzer Aces" to read as well.
