You will become addicted to that stuff.
That period of military history is sort of like the golden age of ‘militarism’.
It’s exciting, splashy, wildly entertaining, compelling, dramatic, etc. What really makes all this so entertaining IS that you are reading about ‘real’ people who recorded factual events along with their own personal experience.
If you never read a BOOK that actually put you on the edge of your seat, you will with this stuff. You even get attached to personalities! Those were fire eating, drunk- on-glory characters.
I watch films about ‘adventure’/ ‘history’/ ‘ fiction’, etc. and NONE compare to actual recorded events and real people of that period.
Directors squander millions trying to convey events, people and drama like this when all they have to do is go to the actual accounts and a script would write itself!
Can you recommend a title that you really liked? I have to get audiobooks now, because I can’t read very well, but...if I have to grit my teeth and read, I can do it!
