whens the next match lads?

Yeah , it was some time before I realised the second world war was the basis for the good versus evil bit . The Nazgul being a representation of german stuka dive bombers , Saruman and Sauron being Hitler and Mussolini.

I must have another read.

woof, you can get tolkeins life story from waterstones, it will give you an insight into the mans life and thoughts

I havent Woof, I used to live in London but cant remember the names of stores to be honest apart from Mr Byrite

Its Gabriel Garcia marquez a Colombian author I think. The best one is a hundred years of solitude sort of a modern day fairytale type thing

I think he was also involved in Motorcycle diaries the film script great film I thought also a decent book.

Ambrose also did Band of Brothers and Pegasus Bridge books I like his style he uses interviews from people who were actually there with the tactical thinking at the time

I wish , but the dogs log put the star to shame , wouldn't have me, too much competition .

Ive got it as well good stuff wouldnt mess with Winters :cool:

Same team that did Private Ryan trying to make it as realistic as possible. After watching Private Ryan a few of us popped in to the working mens club on the way home makes you see all the old codgers in a completely different light.

Stalingrad is another good book but berzerk that was one crazy war

My specialist area is war on the eastern front . I have nothing but total respect for the german soldiers bravery and endurance.
Some unbelievable heroism shown.
Look out for a book called "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer, it'll bring tears to your eyes.
