Welcome to Litsy!

Interesting and informative although a bit dense at times (it read like a text book). Recommend for any history lovers.

Mark Galeotti provides a detailed analysis of the combat in the Panshir valley during the Soviet Afghan war, offering insight into the Soviet 40th army and the Mujahideen fighters, accurately portraying the events leading up to and following the campaign. This work is recommended for Cold War enthusiasts, military history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history of Afghanistan.

4⭐️ This is an excellent companion to Stalingrad and Life & Fate. I hope that one day we‘ll have a world free of any kind of wars.

An intellectual in Leningrad struggles to survive during the German siege of his city from 1941 to 1944. He tries to keep sane by taking notes. Gradually, however, hunger takes over everything else. The fear of bombs, the cold, human dignity, it‘s nothing compared to the hunger, which dominates everything.

I actually finished The Rabbit Hutch after I took this pic. Review to come up soon. I loved it!
Booth is in progress, I am enjoying that one too. I am about to start the Africa book for the challenge and have the tagged one lined up too. Ambitions!

Finally got back to reading this monster. I've decided against taking notes on words because I wasn't advancing at all. I understand a lot of the words but it's hard for me to pronounce many of them so I'm just annotating the book #spanish

Anya Von Bremzen, food writer and award-winning cookbook author, was born in the USSR in 1963 and emigrated to the US with her mother in 1974. Great memoir—Soviet history, family history and food!
