I can think of lots of very enjoyable and/or intellectually satisfying* but nothing jumps out at me as bringing the past alive as such. So I’d have to go for something that brings back memories of my own like Pass and Move the autobiography of Alan Buckley.<br /><br />* my ‘comfort read’ would be Duffy’s the Military Experience in the Age of Reason.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-54870204130828780772020-04-23T14:42:59.480+01:002020-04-23T14:42:59.480+01:00John Seymour - Inspirational!
