Today as I was reading my uncle’s WWI book I found something in one of the later chapters: a TTC transfer. It was from June 2004, and was printed at a station nowhere near my home. I remembered that Stanzi borrowed the book a few years ago; I guess she never made it past the Battle of the Jutland.
Two seconds later I picked up my Blackberry and noticed a new email…from Stanzi. Quel coincidence.

It’s a pretty detailed book and not great for the short subway trip to/from work. I believe the battle of Jutland did me. I still have WWI and WWII on my list of Need to Understand Better
For WWI — at least, the outbreak — I can definitely recommend The Guns Of August. Much more focused on personality conflicts and political maneuvering than on the logistics of particular battles.
Noted. Thank you.
