.Pegasus Bridge: D-Day - the Daring British Airborne Raid
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Stephen E. Ambrose

November 04, 2002
Wouw!! If this is the way Stephen E. Ambrose is writing all his books, this book will be first of many by him I will read!!!
I have played some boardgame with Pegasus Bridge in it and never really understood the importancy of capturing the bridge until I read this book. John Howard and his man did the free world a great service by capturing the bridge!

.A Woman in Berlin: Diary 20 April 1945 to 22 June 1945
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Anonymous

April 06, 2006
A "Woman in Berlin" is the frank and honest diary of a young woman caught up in the dark days during the fall of Berlin in 1945. The book contains an excellent forward from Antony Beevor the historian who wrote the equally compelling "Berlin the Downfall".
This extraordinary work has an interesting history. It was first published in 1953 to a German public that was not quite ready to face such brutal truths. It quickly disappeared from view and after many decades slowly re-emerged. It is now an international phenomenon and has recently been made into a film which will only enhance its reputation further.
The diary is well written as you would expect from someone who has travelled Europe in the publishing trade. The diary does not tell us exactly what ... Read More:

.Forgotten Voices of the Second World War: A New History of the Second World War and the Men and Women Who Were There (Forgotten Voices World War 2)
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Max Arthur

May 05, 2005
I have read a few books on WWII. This book will draw you into the lifes of the men and women who were there. It covers the start of the war right upto the War with Japan and VE Day. What I found interesting about this book is that it covers hundreds of different accounts from the different people who experienced the war. This book was difficult to put down. If you like WWII then this is a must read !!

.Complete Encyclopedia of Tropical Fish (Complete Encyclopedia)
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Esther J. J. Verhoef-Verhallen

2003-10
This is a great little book. You get the feeling that the author has either kept the species written about, or has paid attention to other veteran keepers. It's one of those books you look to keep on the coffee table; it's a joy to browse through.

Well worth the money.

.Overlord: D-Day and the Battle for Normandy, 1944 (Pan Grand Strategy Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Max Hastings

August 13, 1999
Hasting's 'Overlord' has earned a reputation of being almost as close as one can get to becoming a definitive history of the 1944 landings in Normandy.

Whilst far superior to the work of 'historians' such as Stephen Ambrose, there is still an overwhelming feeling of this book being authored by a journalist and not an historian. Hastings makes many sweeping statements, many of which are totally unfounded, yet does very little to substantiate his claims. He constantly enforces the popular misconception, which have almost become fashionable, to criticise rather than to focus on the positives. Reading 'Overlord' found me actually questioning myself as to whether or not the Allies actually won the Battle of Normandy or not.

There is far too much unbalanced ... Read More:

.All Cats Have Asperger's Syndrome
City Travel Guides > Books > Animal Care and Pets
by: Kathy Hoopmann

October 04, 2006
A wonderful book! I have an 8 year old son with AS and have probably given away 20 copies of this book to friends, family and the school classroom. It is particularly good for children as it makes unusual behaviour seem understandable and OK, rather than threatening or strange.
