I've read it and it's an excellent book!



I'm about 2/3rds through "Dunkirk: Fight to the Last Man" by Hugh Sebag-Montefiore. It is a disapointment in the sense that it reveals nothing new. It seems to be a compilation of facts already discussed in various works of the past 30-40 years, with perhaps some tidbits of new information. I guess it's ok if you're learning about it for the first time. However, it's a good read and written well, has a good "flow' to it, so to speak.

I'm "reading" an audio book.

"An Army At Dawn"

I have it in my truck and listen to it when talk radio is in commercial break or is chatting about something I'm not interested in.

*G* Good taste there, Sys!
