Craig Trebilcock (craig_trebilcock) | 1 comments Hello, I just joined Goodreads and found this group, which is very exciting. Looking forward to hearing of books that I had missed so far. My granddad defused bombs in Britain during the Blitz.

Cheers,

J Cools | 2 comments Hi everyone, I'm Josh and super keen to join up to this community. I have just finished up with university and have started working full time so trying to ensure reading time exists is always a challenge but am open for recommendations and happy to get involved.

I am super interested in naval and carrier operations, the Battle of the Atlantic, the Western Front and the Eastern Front, ground and air operations in the Middle East ... love it all!

message 4841: by Ian (new)

Ian | 4 comments Hello! My name is Ian and I am very pleased to meet you all. Just came across this group when looks for folks who are also into the history books! I also venture into some other genres, but nothing beats history wither it be fiction or nonfiction.

Any recommendations for some good books would be great!


message 4842: by Marc (new)

Marc | 1746 comments Welcome aboard, Josh and Ian.

Recommendations are easy to come by, you just have to give us a topic and then brace yourself for the flood!


message 4843: by 'Aussie Rick', Moderator (new)

'Aussie Rick' (aussierick) | 19981 comments Hi Ian and welcome to the group. Like Marc said, just let the group know your area of interest and stand by for the recommendations!

Welcome, Ian! As Mark and Aussie Rick stated, give us a topic and you'll receive some excellent recommendations. Browse the discussions, too, and you'll find a lot.

And just because this is one of my favorite fictional books about WWII, I'm going to suggest:
Last Citadel: A Novel of the Battle of Kursk Last Citadel A Novel of the Battle of Kursk by David L. Robbins


message 4845: by Frosti (new)

Frosti | 2 comments Hi there! My name is Claudio and I'm from the state of Hesse in Germany. I've been interested in history since I was a nerdy kid obsessed with video games and developed a particular passion for military history in recent years. My main areas of interest are probably the military campaigns on the eastern front, the social and political history of the Nazi regime and recently the Spanish civil war and Italy during WWII.

Umm yeah, looking forward to have some insightful discussions with you :)
