I recently finished listening to the Audible adaptation of Antony Beevor’s ‘The Second World War’ and all throughout I was stunned by countless events throughout that conflict. Many of them I had known about for years, but not only did new research recast some of them in an amazing new light but there were also other startling events I learned about for the first time.
The Second World War truly was an implausible living nightmare.
Hey B&B! It’s good to see you!
Good to see you too, Will 🙂
I still regularly visit if rarely to comment, but Beevor’s book was still very much on my mind. Funnily enough, and unintentionally, I finished listening to it on 15 August, the anniversary of Hirohito announcing Japan’s surrender.
Glad you’re still around.
It’s fictional – very fictional – but have you ever read/heard Laws of our Fathers by Scott Turow?
