A few histories and novels of World War I are likely Larry Send a noteboard - 02/04/2014 07:52:56 AM

Just finished an interesting yet frustrating biography on Archduke Ferdinand and his wife Sophie that I'll review sometime this weekend. Planning on reading a few cultural histories of WWI as well as The Guns of August for further review on my new WWI-themed blog.

Might also read/review Rebecca West's The Return of the Soldier this month, since it is short.

Curious, why are you so interested in WWI? Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2014 07:52:31 PM 644 Views
I think it's because 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the war... Tom - 09/04/2014 08:08:19 PM 723 Views
When I was a history grad student, I focused on German cultural/religious 1914-1939 Larry - 10/04/2014 03:35:30 AM 688 Views
On the contrary - they are one of the few things that still has some semi-decent activity. Legolas - 02/04/2014 07:12:53 PM 717 Views
