Lets not bring politics in here @PaulR, enough of that on FB.

No worries mate...

Woah! What I miss?

[PaulR]

I just made a political statement paralleling government disapproval of the aforementioned the bomb making book, which was legally published, and the same government's approval of the activities of certain foreign nationals.  I apologized, as such discussions do not belong here.

Visited Austria a couple of years ago and took in the Obersalzburg/ Kehlsteinhaus, you know the place! Fantastic views. Would like to go back. The book is basically an overview of activity in the Alps during WW2 involving all the countries bordering it and obviously most of the important decisions that were made at the Berghoff.

Went there myself last summer, beautiful place!

@LibertesoeReading and essay writing!

Just finished "The Old Regime and the French Revolution", by Alexis De Tocqueville.

Either he was a great writer or his translator was great (Stuart Gilbert), this is a very readable analysis of the "Old regime" and it's relationship to the revolution. Published in 1856.

He does have some irritating manners of speech, for me peculiar to the French, as I worked with a French firm for 10 years, i.e. "...that is, to say...", but overall it was a pleasure to read and learn.

I recommend this political analysis.

Now for a bit of totally shameless self promotion. Two novels featuring John Pilgrim, ex-SAS militaria dealer and shooter. The other one is a self help book...

All three available at Amazon for reading on your Kindle or other e-reader.

Damn you guys and your bloody pictures of the books you are reading. Screw that, I am NOT posting a photo of the book I finished last night, nor the book I started this morning. 

Last night, I finished reading Unflinching, The making of a Canadian Soldier, written by Jodi Mitic. Jodi Mitic is currently an Ottawa City Counselor. He is a wounded Canadian Sniper, who lost part of both legs in Afghanistan in 2007. I highly recommend this book. 

 

I have just started reading a book titled We Are The Dead, by Larry Gray. It is a result of his research into the men on the Carlton Place Ontario Cenotaph. So far, pretty good.
