Picked up his new hard back "The Fleet at Flood Tide" again it's a great read. Spent this last year reading up on the 2 nitwits in this world rattling their sabres..For my birthday i received The Romanovs 1613-1918 by Montefiore read just like news today, outstanding read. I see everything here from my career in the civilian aviation..23 years of Airline driving, 4 years before for that doing my best to not end it prematurely. Again always a pleasure reading and keep up those book reviews Thanks!!!
