re: #347 HappyWarrior

I need to read Guns of August. I have a copy but didn’t finish it because I abandoned it. I’m doing a small trek on the Spanish Civil War though, first reading Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia, next is Anthony Beevor’s general history of the war, and there’s a new book out on it called Spanish Holocaust that explores how murderous Franco and his allies were. I’m still reading my Kershaw Hitler biography which will probably take me a while but it’s something that I can go back to while reading other material.

Be sure to get the second edition of Beevor. He get’s his hands on a lot more documentation and gives much more detail and depth to his work.

I’d love to require every American to read it… :(
