The description of the book sounds very interesting, and I value your opinion enough for it to form my desire to read it. Thank you for letting me know of the book. Thanks for letting me know of the Churchill's books, too. I'm not sure whether I could ever bring myself to read something like that, but the premise of it sounds interesting. Indeed, if someone in the higher-ups of the governments involved would be able to tell about the Second World War, I'd be inclined to read it. It's too bad Mein Kampf is banned in Russia: despite the reputation of its author, it is a historical book which, much like Churchill's, sheds light on the second world-wide armed conflict.wasoxygen bought me a copy of Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon. That is high on the list. Just an incredible read with fantastic characters.
