Sunday, December 07, 2014. My Pearl Harbor Scrapbook. Today marks the 73rd anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Hundreds of books have been written on the subject, but My Pearl Harbor Scrapbook. By Bess Taubman is unique among them all. Simply put, it's gorgeously done, and a delight to the senses. Here is just a sampling of what you'll find inside:. And because it is Pearl Harbor Day, here's a story from the morning that led the U.S. to enter World War II. By Bess Taubman,. 169; 2014 Bess...

Ferrous Lands: Miniatures and Book Reviews: The Scandinavian Christmas Nisse
http://www.ferrouslands.com/2014/12/the-scandinavian-christmas-nisse.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2014. The Scandinavian Christmas Nisse. Nisse miniature painted by myself (and mounted on a penny). I just finished reading Keeping Christmas: Yuletide Traditions in Norway and the New Land. By Kathleen Stokker, which is great because it has so much history on the julenisse. My wife is part Danish, so I've become fascinated by these Scandinavian Christmas gnomes. Kids leave treats for them on Christmas Eve, as with Santa in the US. But unlike Santa, these gruff nisser. 8220;People...

Saturday, February 14, 2015. The Deserters by Charles Glass. The topic of deserters during war doesn't come up very often when we think about World War II.

The Best of World War II: The Garden of Letters by Alyson Richman
http://bestofww2.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-garden-of-letters-by-alyson-richman.html
Thursday, January 22, 2015. The Garden of Letters by Alyson Richman. One of the joys of reading historical fiction is in learning intriguing historical details. It's amazing how little-known facts can lead to an entire treasure trove of information. That's one of the reasons I loved Alyson Richman's latest novel, The Garden of Letters. It is Elodie that makes this novel such a treat to read. Richman's characterization of her is full and rich as she expertly shows the symbiotic relationship between El...

The Best of World War II: The Spy with 29 Names
http://bestofww2.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-spy-with-29-names.html
Wednesday, March 25, 2015. The Spy with 29 Names. Sometimes, life really is stranger than fiction. Juan Pujol was a Spaniard who created one of the most incredible espionage networks in Europe during World War II. His incredible tale comes to life in The Spy with 29 Names: The Story of the Second World War's Most Audacious Double Agent. Not one of them was real. All of the spies were fictional: Pujol and Harris had made them all up. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow Me On Twitter. My Top Five Cl...

The Best of World War II: May 2014
http://bestofww2.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2014. As I sit here on my couch and gaze outside at the beautiful spring morning, a mourning dove coos, my Snoopy flag wafts gently in the breeze, and my two cats drowse under my chair. There is no gunfire erupting, no house-to-house combat, no tanks rolling down the street, no riots. It is calm. Peaceful. Serene. This is what freedom looks and sounds like. And men and women fought and died so that I may enjoy it and live my life in such a way as I see fit. I will never forget. This book ...

http://bestofww2.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 26, 2014. Priscilla: The Hidden Life of an Englishwoman in Wartime France. Many of the stories that come out of Wartime France are about those who risked everything to fight the Germans. Brave men and women fought in the Resistance or hid Jews or did whatever small act of civil disobedience they could to take a stand against the Nazis. This is not one of those stories. Instead, this is a story of survival, of guilt, of shame, and of collaboration. When the Germans came to France, Priscill...
