The French "All Quiet on the Western Front"

Manifest Destiny with a lot of misery, suffering, and depredations along the way.

Definitely a survey book, but well-told

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

Classic Seymour style

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.

Puh-Sheh-Muh-Shl; a lot of time listening to the pronunciation of Przemysl is required to read this book successfully

Another memoir, this time by a Kiwi squadron commander starting in 1943.

The Aussie Rorke's Drift of the Vietnam War

Inspired to read this after seeing the movie

Surprisingly well-written.

Book is set in 2024 but characters seem to occupy themselves with newspapers...odd.

A page turner without jacket blurbs. Curious.

This is the most opinionated history book I've ever read, veering at times towards screed and laced with the self satisfaction of an ideological social media warrior. We'll see if it gets better.

Serialized dime novel from 1877. Should be interesting.

This is an odd book. Chapter 1 is 124 pages long.

Beautifully written arguments for evolution across many lines of evidence.

You can never go wrong with another Dawkins book on evolution.

Louis XVI' head and torso no longer connected; enemies and traitors everywhere-- it's Terror Time.

Heads are being detached now.

It's 1790. Revolution seems to be going swimmingly. Will harmony last? Stay tuned.
