Thanks @Redlegs. I am currently on volume 3 and I have to say things don't look very good for the allies at the moment. The two books I have read so far have been very informative regarding the more subtle things that we never hear about when the war is portrayed in movies and documentaries. It is a good read and I don't regret starting it.

Hi Gali! It's nice! I'm only at the beginning, but the scene is just being set at the moment, and introducing the characters.
It's sounding like a proper "storyteller", as if you could sit there and listen to it being read to you.

I have just started reading 'Munich' by Rober Harris. Set in 1938 and it is about events that took place just before the outbreak of WWII. Weaving historical fact with fiction.
