I assume he brings the same level of scholarship and elegant narrative to D-Day. <i>Stalingrad</i> came highly recommended to me. Thus, I highly recommend at least <i>Stalingrad</i>.

Bradbury was my favorite living writer of fiction, so I was of course saddened by the news.<br /><br />On to WWII: I assume you would recommend Beevor? I've always had a passion for WWII and have read some of the standbys (Rise and Fall of the Third Reich; Flags of our Fathers, With the Old Breed; The Longest Day) and am always looking for something recommended.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.com
