The Evening Standard have their own suggestions for 'best books about the Second World War to read this year'.
It's a personal choice, so what would be yours?

Wow! In one post how do you summarise such an fascinating book?
Learnt so much because other books tend to concentrate on the land battle for Norway. The chapters covering pre & post-war are truly fascinating.
A perfect partner then for Plevy's excellent book.

This 2nd book I'm currently reading is a fascinating Dad's Army myth buster, that takes a deep look at the HG.
An incredible 1206 HG were killed on duty despite never engaging with the enemy in ground combat! Most fatalities involved live ammunition accidents.

Good morning Bookerites!
The things you spot on Am*zon whilst browsing.๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Not sure what's more concerning. The wrong photo on the cover, or the fact that for over ยฃ12 this comprehensive biography has just 37 pages!

This weekโs book is a little different to my normal read but thoroughly enjoying this intimate look into the life of Elizabeth II. ๐

Very nice to have a couple of hours eating croissants, drinking coffee, eating cake, oh and occasionally chatting with Chris Lloyd. ๐
Now very excited for book three of Chris' Detective Eddie Giral series, published in August.
Great title! #HistoryBookChat
The book that seems to need it's own miracle.
We have been talking about this book for the past 3/4 years. I don't know what the issue is with the publication date constantly being delayed, but it's changed again now to July 2025.

My #PhotoFriday & #HistoryBookChat offerings (and there have been some great choices this week)....I've been fortunate enough to dive Scapa's wrecks and Cox's Navy is such a recommended read for anyone interested in them.
