Please let me know what you think of it.

I read his Norway 1940 - a paperback printed in 1991. A good book if I recall correctly.

Listening to the audio book version of The Rising Sun: The Decline and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1936-1945, John Toland. It's 41 hours, but so far(3 hours in) it seems worth it.

I loved the paperback version - a really, really good book imo [&o].

I agree wholeheartedly.

I'm reading 'A Mad Catastrophe: The Outbreak of World War I and the Collapse of the Habsburg Empire' by Wawro.

Conrad was Incompetent with a capital I. It's heart to find anything he did right.

I just finished Collision of Empires: War on the Eastern Front in 1914 and that author didn't paint in a very good light either.

@Warspite..asked this further up but you must have missed it. Do you own the campaign expansion for Steam and Iron? If not I can't recommend it enough, enhances the game no end.

Yes I did miss this.

I've never heard of Steam and Iron before now. I've just been on the website - looks interesting. I will check this out some more - thanks for the tip.

[wodin]

It's a superb game if your into WW1 naval..but the campaign expansion is a must. Just got the expansion and I haven't stopped playing.

+1.

I have the 2 volume hard back set as well. It's a lot dog eared these days. [:D] Many a scenario has come out of that set of books.

Good Hunting.
