Cropredy is on page 132 of 336 of Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series

Entertaining- makes you think that every sports game is rigged for the benefit of gamblers.

Cropredy is on page 22 of 336 of Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series

Boy, baseball was corrupt back in 1919.

Cropredy is starting Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series

What with the massive rise in sports betting it seems like the time to learn about the scandal of scandals in baseball

Cropredy is on page 354 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

The war ends with a preliminary peace treaty that has parallels to the US / Iran MOU. 8 years of war and not much changes from pre-war.

Just a few pages of wrap up analysis left to read.

Cropredy is on page 259 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

Surprisingly interesting despite being a confusing series of alliances that are ever changing.

Cropredy is on page 189 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

Contemporaries called this "The War of the Pragmatic Sanction". Maybe the Pentagon should revive this title for future excursions into Iran.

Cropredy is on page 140 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

Execrable maps (in the book) and a lot of major players named Charles.

Cropredy is on page 72 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

It's 1741. Imagine French versions of Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff running around the capitals of Europe forging alliances against Austria. That's what chapter 4 is all about.

Cropredy is on page 26 of 480 of The War of the Austrian Succession

Not as engaging as the recently read War of Jenkins Ear.

Siege drawing to a close.

Cropredy is on page 141 of 480 of Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History

Astonishingly, no Spanish sources consulted. Told entirely (at least through page 141) from British sources

A Case of Life and Limb (The Trials of Gabriel Ward, #2)

Cropredy is on page 90 of 306 of Carrier Pilot

Finally, a memoir of a WW 2 pilot whose remembered dialog matches the colorful and profane speech of real people.

As this is an encyclopedia, you read the entries from A to Z. Hence, an inexorable page-turner 😊Fortunately, it is well-illustrated

Cropredy is on page 162 of 592 of 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History--and How It Shattered a Nation

It is September 2, 1929 and the Dow has hit an all time high. Will it continue like that for the rest of the year? I can't wait to find out!

You could say it is ironic that while we're embroiled in a war with Iran that could lead to catastrophe that I'm reading 1929 but my library hold finally came in today so it's just coincidence.
