Sometimes it's hard to find interesting reading. Any recommendations you care to share? I have a suggested book about the air campaign during World War II: more below...

[Don@VB]

I like history and historical fiction along with biographies. One recent favorite is "A Higher Calling" by Adam Markl. It's a true story about a German fighter pilot, an American bomber pilot and an unusual air encounter. The E-book is available on Amazon and the Audio Book is available free on the library app, Hoopla. Finally, above for a source URL, I used Amazon only because a URL is required for posting.

Amazon is only listed as a source URL because a URL was required.

Extremely well researched and around 360 pages....covers the election period and how things fell into place.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Dreadnought by Robert Massie.
The Impending Crisis by David M. Potter

Both will keep you occupied for a while, both lay out in exquisite detail how things go to hell.

[Jane Long]

Was it, by chance, similar to what we’ve just witnessed with our own *election*?

[Don@VB]
