After finishing Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard earlier this week, I decided to follow this gourmet banquet with a bite of "fast food." I know a lot of people like James Brady's books - and I admit this is the first one I read. The story line was good, especially capturing the first disastrous months of the "Korean Conflict."
