My daughter and I just finished a four book series “The Galway Chronicles” after we vacationed again in Galway, Ireland last summer. Authors Bodie and Brock Thoene. Set in the early 1840s, it is an amazing story of families in Connemara, Co. Galway, Ireland, complete with romance, trauma, intrigue, potato famine, horrifying English landlords, and HISTORY! We both loved the series!

BTW, as lovers of US history, she and her dad have a goal of reading a biography of each of the US presidents. So far they have been very selective...

Any suggestions for them?

Sorry that was Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haffner (not Heffner). Almost finished with it and recommend to anyone who wants to see what average Germans thought of the rise of Hitler, and how one man reacted to the insanity.

“The Evolution of Political Thought” by C. Northcote Parkinson, author of the more-renowned “Parkinson’s Law”.

I reread it about twice a decade to remind myself of the non-permanence of all human institutions, and of the wisdom of Ecclesiastes and the Greek Stoics.

This 50 year old book is worth reading for its analysis of Communism as Theocracy alone!
