Stalingrad - Antony Beevor - excellent so far - all about the german invasion of Russia and the routing that followed, views from both sides, well researched, politics, civilians, soldiers, the horrors of war with no glossing over....recommend it to anybody with an interest in the second world war

Memoirs of a Smuggler by John Rattenbury.

Born in Beer in 1778 the author kept a journal of his adventures.

Downloaded free from Playstore as, no doubt, he would have wanted.

Harrison Ford: Imperfect Hero by Garry Jenkins
Just finished the Ford biography which pointed out the that while a struggling actor in Hollywood, he was also a highly skilled master carpenter doing jobs on the side while waiting for film work.

Also, despite his derring-do film roles, the possibility of being called up for service in Vietnam loomed large enough for him to telephone his former philosophy tutor at Ripon College, Wisconsin, asking him to drop a line to US Army explaining that he was a conscientious objector.

Now reading: Nuts in May - Richard Gordon
