Review: KILLING ROMMEL by Steven Pressfield

Lezlie from Books ‘N Border Collies recently reviewed Killing Rommel by Steven Pressfield.  Here’s an excerpt:
No one I’ve read writes battle scenes the way Pressfield can. I completely lost track of what the story actually was in Killing Rommel, but I was completely immersed in the action. He makes you feel you’re in the tank, [...]

Review: FROM HERE TO ETERNITY by James Jones

Matt from Matt’s Book Blog recently reviewed From Here to Eternity by James Jones.  Here’s an excerpt:
The episodes in the bars, the stockade, and the attack on Pearl Harbor rock, full of realism. I’m not sure how seriously I would take the melodrama and theme of Authority vs. Resistance if I read it now, but [...]
