War

"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."  Donald Rumsfeld

Dead men do not win wars.  Dead men lose everything, including their dignity, and starting with their lives.  Only living men can be victorious.  No one--ever--wins in death.  To send men into battle, thus exposing them to death, is the responsibility of leaders, but to squander any one of them without need is murder, plain and simple."  Jack Whyte,  The Fort at River's Bend (The Camulod...

Madame Tussaud, by Michelle Moran, is a very nice fictional account about the founder of the famous waxworks.  And the French Revolution.  Enjoy,   Nancy

World War I has been overshadowed by the horrors of World War II.  But the Great War, the War to End All Wars, was filled with its own tragedies.  One author, the mother and son team that writes as Charles Todd, brings us fictional accounts of WWI both gentle and chilling.  Todd's Inspector Ian Rutledge series begins with A Test of Wills, while the new Bess Crawford series begins with A Duty to the DeadNancy

I'm beginning to believe every other citizen of the United Kingdom is a murderer.  Unless they're all mystery writers. 

  1995

In any case, don't miss the Evans series by Rhys Bowen, which gives us a glimpse of the Wales I first met in the overlooked but delightful film The Englishman Who Went up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain.  Bowen, who has moved to San Francisco (no doubt to escape the mayhem in her native land), weaves interesting characters and a nice little mystery.  How delightful!  Nancy

PS  Bowen has begun a series about an Irish immigrant in turn of the century New York.  Since the hero has fled a murder charge in Ireland, she's very eager to see justice done for others.  The first book is Murphy's Law.  I'm looking forward to the next one.

PPS  Nicole Galland's The Fool's Tale take us back in time to late medieval times in a Welsh tale that echoes an earlier story of love and war in that part of the world.  Loved it.

Tears in the Darkness is an account of the Bataan Death March by Michael Norman and Elizabeth M. Norman.  It's based on the ordeal of one man, Montana artist Ben Steele, but there are many other stories interwoven into the stomach wrenching narrative.  It is important reading.  Nancy

Unless you are a battle buff, you might just want to skim Deception in War by Jon Latimer.  Even if that's all you do, you'll enjoy discovering that the heirs to the Greeks, who won their war with the Trojan Horse, are alive and well - or at least victorious.  Nancy

The tragedy of American involvement in Vietnam goes way beyond internal unrest in the United States and blood shed in the jungles.  In A Grand Delusion, Robert Mann researched and interviewed his way to a deeper understanding of those events than I've seen anywhere.  This book goes a long way to answering the "why" and "how" questions about a time that tore us apart.   Nancy
