It read so much more dull than those other two books of his I read.<br /><br />Love, C.Foxessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06754083123669916994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680622593910991248.post-30648004207992651602009-11-02T15:03:06.643-05:002009-11-02T15:03:06.643-05:00I liked Keegan's book about WW2 but found his ...I liked Keegan's book about WW2 but found his work on WW1 to be pedestrian and unoriginal.
