Hi at the mo. reading The gathering of the Storm in the RV, the second book out of three about Atilla the Hun, fiction but based in fact. Dark Prince fact and fantasy about Alexander the great and The blooding of the guns Fact and fiction about the battle of Jutland.
Just read Somme Mud an account written in 1921 by an Aussie private but only recently published about his experience in the Somme from 1916-1918. A good day at the front was when you lost less than 20 men. Well written in a light hearted way, about being shelled in the trenches, marching through mud with 80lbs on your back and suicidal attacks against German machine guns. If your interested in WW1 well worth a read.
