Wolfpack by Roger Moorhouse
Rate this book
Clear rating
A brilliant book and essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the Battle of the North Atlantic from under the waves. Roger Moorhouse is a terrific writer and a first rate historian and this book is as good as anything else he has written.

I first read this Young Adult novel when I was, I guess, a Young Adult. And I loved it. Now I've re-read it more than fifty years later and I did not love it. The book didn't change; I did. Hard to recommend it to others, though. ...more

This very short book is far less interesting than I was hoping it would be. While the actual chapters are quite short and a quick read, the appendices drag on -- in particular the first draft by Jefferson of the declaration. And to call one sentence ...more

Rate this book
Clear rating
The fourth and final book in the series -- this is the origin story of Hannibal Lecter. Though it may be the shortest book in the series, it felt long. Many characters, a convoluted and repetitive plot. It feels like author ran out of ideas, sadly.

An absolutely brilliant account of a long-forgotten event -- the brief Presidency of James Garfield and his assassination in 1881. This book is the basis for the superb recent television series "Death by Lightning". Millard is a very good writer and ...more

In the late 1990s, the CIA decided to publish a number of articles written by its staff which had appeared in classified editions of a CIA journal. The Company clearly was trying to learn stuff from a pioneering counter-terrorist organisation -- as t ...more
