I think a lot of people bought "Shake Hands" after Madeleine Albright reviewed it in the Posts book section last weekend. I had to ask Kramers to order it for me.

Laugh out loud at times.  Slow at others.

 i'm only a couple of chapters in, but this is a fascinating book ... any suggestions for similar genre-bending history?

been busy lately so not much time for reading - I've read these three books, all by the same author, this year, the first two are biographical, the third (and weakest) is fictional

The last book I read:
    <img src="http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/1840186399.02.LZZZZZZZ.jpg" alt=" - " />
 
 It sucked.  Lots of errors and too much bias.
 
 I'm currently reading this:
    <img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/1588341046.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" alt=" - " />
 
 It's the account of a Spad pilot in Vietnam..  It's rather good as there hadn't yet been any SPAD books tht I was aware of, but I did detect a mistake.
