dewlineBoth of these were gotten at the Ottawa Public Library's Mammoth Book Sale. Specifically:
The War That Ended Peace: The Road to 1914 by Margaret MacMillan.
Supercarriers by Tony Holmes and Jean-Pierre Montbazet.
The former, I heard about via CBC Radio a few years back. Author was interviewed, probably on at least two shows. The second...is about 30 years old if it's a day. Copyright date is 1990. Yes, it's about aircraft carriers. Yes, I have a militaria hobby. I must have 50 or 60 Osprey titles here in the basement. Lots of photos and painted illustrations of uniforms and hardware from across the centuries of warfare.
Also, six CDs of music that was new-to-me. Details another time.
