But it seems that I have read two in the last month. I didn't mean to, but I read War and Peace. Then I read this little GEM:
He gives almost a minute by minute account of what happened on D-Day from both sides. He did many personal interviews and read many documents. This is a thorough rendering of the day, and it isn't boring!
It was written 51 years ago (the year of my birth, 1959), and it is a classic. I heartily recommend it.
It makes you appreciate World War II Vets that much more!
Now, on to reading Hitler, who caused it all to happen in the first place.
"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well" (The Little Prince by de Saint-Exupéry). One woman's journey to wellness through a well-adjusted heart, well-watered soul, well-educated mind, and well-tuned body. "Love the Lord your God with all your HEART, and with all your SOUL, and with all your MIND, and with all your STRENGTH" (Mark 12:30-31).
