Thanks for the book recommendation. I enjoy her work, especially The Guns of August.Having lived in France a considerable time I have done a lot of research into French History. Am currently working on a novel which takes place in the First WW. The characters are fictional but the major happenings are all authentic as to place and time. Love researching in the French Archives. The personnel are always outstanding and immensely helpful.
Wish you success in your writing endeavor.
