I am not sure the postal workers are happy about it, but they‘re back to work tomorrow, which is good news for me as I have missed getting mail and still have about 80 Christmas cards to mail!

so-soOk. Probably wouldn't have finished it if it wasn't the only audio i had downloaded on a trip.
pickThe book greatly describes the early stages of the Korean War. A good part of the book focuses on soldiers caught up in the fighting, portraying many of the struggles of war endured. Other parts describe the geopolitics during the lead-up. Several prominent figures, such as MacArthur and Mao, are also examined. Definitely worth reading.
pickStephen gives a perfect account of the battle considered the greatest confederate victory. Using actual sources such letters and diaries makes this a must read for civil war buffs.
pickSteven J Zaloga and James Loop‘s work, Soviet Elite Bloc, evokes a sense of nostalgia. Written in the 1980s, it reflects on several nations including some that no longer exist. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the elite forces of the Soviet Union and its Eastern European allies, offering information about the capabilities of each nation.
The 2nd half of the book, is Caesar conquering more places in Europe and becoming the ruler of Rome. He then got stabbed by a group, like Brutus and Gaius. They got into power and made their own territories. Caesar's cousin, Octavius, who was revealed to be adopted by Caesar went to war with Brutus and Gaius and reclaimed Caesar's legacy. If you like books that are historical then this book is for you.
As I clean the guest room so it is suitable for guests I had to take a small bookcase out (never fun) I still am obsessed with these little Booksellers stickers they used to put inside the books. How can there be so many books in a small bookcase ? 5 boxes ? Really?
Caesar's Legion, a book about Caesar's many great battles which mostly were his victory. Giving a focus on his 10th legion which Caesar gave extra attention (rigorous training, discipline, and better food.) to became one of his strongest armies he commands. The story starts with a battle, that shortly cuts to the start of Caesar's reign as a general. The first half talks about his battles with Parts of Europe. The view is a 3rd person observer.
