I know I read more than this, but these are the ones that pop out at me as I go through my list. Im in the middle of one book, No Surrender by James T Sheerhan, but its about a man who during WW2, on D-Day he was captured, and he and a buddy escaped, and his adventures getting back to his team. I will most likely finish it either tonight or tomorrow.
As you can tell, I read alot of WW2 books, its my favorite subject, and it honestly doesn't matter the exact subject, as long as it happened between 1930 to 1945, I will read it. Actually anything that happened between 1900-1950 is one of my favorite time periods, but then I also like the Revolutionary era, and how the US became the States. And I also like the Civil War era, lol........eh, its history, I will read it, lol.
Tomorrow I will do a recap of news, people who died, and things that happened in the year.
