When I was a child I was thrilled to read the wonderful WW2 adventure stories by Scottish author Alistair Maclean. I mention this because The Dam Busters, on first blush, reads like a thriller, a boys own yarn, from the aforementioned author. However, as we know, the story of the Dam Busters is not ...
In my humble opinion this is not the best of Hastings books. Can't put a finger on anything particularly, it may be the subject, I don't know. Actually I was a bit disappointed. A 'first' with Hastings though
Everything I thought I knew about The Great War was wrong. This book has set me straight. The author writes a book with attitude and has the goal of destroying the myths about the starting of the war and correcting the lies about the war and explaining why it was important in its day and is still ...
Sir Max Hastings answered a fan message I left him on his website so I'm going to rate everything I read of his five stars. I don't care that he voted Tory in 2001. actually, the Pan Grand Strategy entry for "The Korean War" is a five-star book, too. they say a big war generates a book every decade...
Max Hastings is my new favourite historian. It seems he trumps [a:Antony Beevor|3407|Antony Beevor|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1338559644p2/3407.jpg], although I'll have to dig up Beevor and poke around again. An intense, heavily researched work of the last year of Germany's war, wherein Hastings...
Always having a good time in company with Hastings' books. This book relates stories from some of the post WWII wars and conflicts with but with another angle than other good books on the subjects. I really liked it
Let’s acknowledge the truth, the Royal Air Force was unfairly scorned at the end of WWII for their efforts. In fact, you could say they were ROYALLY FUCKED! Poorly served by their leaders, the RAF was never appropriately recognized for their lonely, bloody night fight against the Third Reich, for ye...

Max Hastings chronicles the final battles to defeat Nazi Germany. He starts the story in A...
A very engaging history of the war, told from the perspective of the people (both soldiers and civilians) who lived through it. I have a hard time reading military books - too much talk about strategy leaves me cold, as I'm interested in the human history of things. This is the best book on WWII t...
