Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany, William II, held his granny while she died.  Since she was Britain's Queen Victoria, it's interesting to realize his army manned the trenches against the British and their allies in World War I.   Not to speak of the fact that Hitler wanted to walk in William's funeral procession.   (He didn't - the funeral was held in occupied Holland.)  

Clearly there was more to the man than two paragraphs in a textbook.  Fortunately, we can read Giles MacDonogh's compelling biography, The Last Kaiser and find out what else we didn't learn in school.  Nancy

Book Review List 

 

Dare to go Bear

 

For whatever reason, historical events of major importance are not always viewed that way.  Today's classrooms are thus rarely the scene of significant attention to the French and Indian War, aka The Seven Years War.  Ask a hundred kids to describe that war and you would get very few intelligent responses.

Fortunately scholars pursue knowledge for its own sake as well as for the lessons history might teach us all.  And sometimes they produce readable volumes like Fred Anderson's Crucible of War.

Anderson has done his scholarly duty, but I enjoyed his book anyway.  And I learned a lot, which is always a pleasant bonus.  The people of Anderson's period, 1754-1766, are fascinating and their time was portentous.   What a combination.  Nancy

 

 

PS  I have just arisen from the chair where I read P. G. Wodehouse's Mike and Psmith in one too short session.  I absolutely cannot help affecting Psmithian descriptive phrases.  "Always a pleasant bonus," indeed.

 

PPS  P. G. Wodehouse has been my favorite author for years.  His bumbling aristocratic world may have been marginal to reality, but the man manipulated the English language with unmatched skill.  And he was funny.  Which has absolutely nothing to do with Mr. Anderson's very fine book.
