You may find the info I have on Caldwell in my book, The Star of Africa. You may already be aware of it.

[Kristen]

Hallo Colin, Sorry, but I had not heard of The Star of Africa but it looks good: The Star of Africa: The Story of Hans Marseille, the Rogue Luftwaffe Ace Who Dominated the WWII Skies. I confess, since completing the Caldwell manuscript in 2005 (published 2006) I have wandered from the north African theatre and have not yet returned!

Hi everyone, I am new to the group. I have been adding to my books list and history especially WW2 are areas that I have dedicated a lot of time and reading towards.

Welcome, Lewis. Please don't be shy about pitching in.

Hi Lewis and welcome to the group, I am sure you will have a fun time here discussing good books and authors with the rest of the members.

[happy]

Welcome Lewis - you've come to the right place to find books to add books to any list = your TBR list is going to explode :)

[Lilo]

Welcome to the group, Lewis. I'm sure you will feel at home here.

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Welcome to the best group on GR, Lewis. I'm pretty sure we can add a few more to that book list.

[Geevee, Assisting Moderator British & Commonwealth Forces]

Welcome Lewis and please feel free to join in - look forward to sharing books and comments.

[Mikey B.]

Hi All

I'm Michael. I have read a lot on WWII over the years, particularly on the personalities Churchill, Roosevelt, de Gaulle, and of course the more evil ones.

I am from Montreal/Canada

And now will take a bit of time to explore this site!

This is a knowledgeable and lively group. Don't be reluctant to pitch right in. Welcome.

Hi Michael and welcome to the group, I hope you find lots to keep you interested and join in on any of the threads/discussions when your ready.

Great to see you here Michael and look forward to reading more of your reviews.

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Always room for another Michael here. Welcome and get ready for an expanding TBR shelf.

Hi, Michael,

I am glad you followed my invitation and joined this group. I guarantee you'll like it here.

Btw, I hope you like wine. Most people here are wine drinkers. :-)

[happy]

Welcome Michael - always room for more Michaels :)

I love wine - who's buying - or is it bring BYOWTDBC
(Bring Your Own Wine To Da Book Club)?

Nothing like a glass of wine, listening to good music and reading a book

[happy]

I don't think AR's wine celler has recovered from last summer:)

[Mike, Assisting Moderator US Forces]

Welcome Tom, feel free to jump right into the group discussions. Your personal connection to WWII is sure to bring an interesting perspective.

Lilo: I object. I drink copious amounts of beer (Guinness and Stella Artois preferred), plentiful wines (both red and white) and lots of bourbon and rye.

Tom: Welcome. Don't be reluctant to give your two cents.

[happy]

Let me add my welcome to Tom

Please feel free to voice an opinion and tell us we are up in the night

Oh and be prepared for a geometricly expanding TBR list :)

Hi Tom and welcome to the group, I hope you enjoy yourself here and find lots of new books and interesting topics.

And for those interested the wine cellar has been re-stocked but I now have a bigger padlock on the door!

[Dj]

Shhh, don't mention that, he is still putting the books back in order, from when I arranged them in reverse alphabetical order.

I forgot about that Dj, thanks for reminding me :)

[Dj]

It was the least I could do after finding your Halder War Diaries mixed in with Alanbrook's. No one should be so cruel as to put all the diaries in the same place it makes ones head spin. LOL.

I'm glad you only visited once then, you should see what I've done with the order of books since you've left!

:)

[Geevee, Assisting Moderator British & Commonwealth Forces]

You need to go on another international holiday again for us all to pile in and critique the ordering and latest vintages ;)

['Aussie Rick', Moderator]

Not this time Geevee, got a new security system fitted to the house, should keep the rascals within this group out of my library!

[Tionne]

Haha

@ Mikey B.: FYI: Aussie Rick took a long trip to Europe, last summer, and all these buggers here threatened to raid his wine cellar (in Australia) while he was gone.

Hi, Tom,

Welcome to the group. I feel similar like you do. I am also a latecomer to Goodreads and Amazon. And I also have to force myself to read other topics than WWII (including what lead to it and what came of it).

I don't really know how they bring the wine. You might try e-mailing it. :-)

O.k., Manray9. I'll grant you special permission. Btw, you must have a good stomach.

Nothing like online drinking!
Manray9 has revealed his Southern roots - bourbon and rye!

[Denise]

Spicy rum please on ice :)

My preferred bourbon is Elmer T. Lee -- a fine product of the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, but I have been known to sip a little Wild Turkey too (a potion known in these parts as "The Dirty Bird"). Buffalo Trace also makes Sazerac Rye. As the international flavor of our GR group shows, little is truly just "national" these days. Wild Turkey is now owned by Campari Group of Milan.

Now I'm way off topic and may be duly chastised by AR!

Two Elmers I appreciate!

[Geevee, Assisting Moderator British & Commonwealth Forces]

Elmer Fudd?

[happy]

LOL on this detour on the thread - Like I said last summer - I volunteer to be the designated drver since I don't drink - Someone needs to all of you home in one piece :)

[Geevee, Assisting Moderator British & Commonwealth Forces]

Elmer the Patchwork Elephant too!

[Manray9]

Geevee wrote: "Elmer Fudd?"

Okay, three Elmers.

[Dj]

Le Black Jack, neat from the freezer.
