I have very personal interest in Putins war on Ukraine.
Russia has long wanted the fertile ground that is Ukraine, the present war is not new..
If you have any interest in the history this should be on your reading list.
It is NOT an easy read. Now seemed a good time to re read this, it is a very well researched book, one we should all be aware of.

A Man without a Country
This is vintage Vonnegut - hilariously funny and razor-sharp as he fixes his gaze on art, politics, himself and the condition of the soul of America today. Written over the last five years in the form of a loose memoir, "A Man without a Country" is an intimate and tender communication to us all...

I have read #11 as you suggested Foobar, it is now on my bookshelf, I’ll read it again at some point.

Yes, indeed. #11 is a perfect example of where she had read the book and then told me the story. I wish she would read my briefing notes, reports and planning apps with the same enthusiasm !

Here btw, is a book I thought she would like, but 'the jury is still out' so to speak. Tbh, she says it was 'a bit hard going', that was a year or so back now.
I notice there are plenty of SH copies on eBay for sale at reasonable prices, so perhaps she is not alone in that. It doesn't appear to have been posted here before, so here's a pic....

It does sound heavy going. I might need to give that a miss, unless it’s £2.00 to a worthy cause in a local charity shop.
My Grandad served 'with' the Sherwood Foresters, or at least that's what he was capbadged, in the Home Guard during World War 2.
Being back on my old home patch for a few days enabled me to visit my favourite bookshop in Ledbury - some bargain WW1 titles, although Liev seems more interested in what's going on in the kitchen......
Fantastic. 'Uncrowned King' is a brilliant read, David Tremayne's books are always worth it
