I spent some time at Borders last night, while my wife and
daughter looked at fabric. I found one book I've been thinking of
picking up, and another that just looked interesting. The
first:
"Storm of Steel" by Ernst Jünger - a memoir of WWI from a
frontline German soldier. The reviews for this book have been
universally good; I'm looking forward to reading it.
"Stalin's Folly" , by Constantine Pleshakov, was written by a Russian born professor - a man whose mother lived through the war. It sounds compelling, and the first chapter or so was pretty spellbinding - it's partly informed by the Soviet archives, which only opened up after the collapse of the USSR. Another book I'm looking forward to.
