pickThe American naval war during the American Revolution wasn‘t fought by a navy (excluding the French Navy), but by privateers who saw profit in securing a percentage of the cargo of any British ship taken. This book details the story of those privateers, their successes and the failures. An interesting book. Signed copy.
pickGreat account of both sides approach during the last two years in the Pacific during WWII.
pickThis was a fast read for me - full of adventure! I read this originally because it was on Obamas summer book list.
Most people probably wouldn‘t squeal in delight while browsing the medical history section of the used bookstore. But this book about scurvy will fit perfectly into what my husband refers to as my #DiseaseOfTheMonthBookClub. 😄
What can I say? I‘m a weirdo. 🤷🏻♀️
pick“The power of fate is a wonder; dark, terrible wonder. Neither wealth nor armies, towered walls nor ships, Black hulls lashed by the salt, can save us from that force.” —Sophocles
pickA good secondhand find. I was interested in reading about the Pacific part of WW2 and particularly the naval part of it. The narrative frame, that the commander is telling his story to an interviewer for some reason, feels unnecessary; the first-person narration is vivid on its own.
