I finished reading Lancaster the other day, which was both well researched and very interesting, so I decided to start The Red Line by the same author, even though it covers some of the same ground. It focuses on the disastrous raid on Nuremberg in March 1944 but also details the experience of air crew throughout the war, with an emphasis on first hand accounts based on interviews, backed up by documentary sources. I haven't decided if I'm going to tackle Target for Tonight as a project next year yet, so some background reading will help me to make up my mind.
I have a copy of TfT on loan from a friend, I'm really tempted to give it atry next year
ReplyDeleteYes it's an interesting if slightly confusing set of rules but I'm sure I can get a hang of it with some work through games.
DeleteI just listened to an interview with John Nichol on the Xtended podcast and his books sound great! I think I'll be reading Tornado soon!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about the depth of research he's clearly done for both the books I've read.
