Re: What are you reading PtII
Strange victory by Ernest R May, and Im spitting at every page as he tries to be sensationalist and gives his own flawed arguments on the fall of France, contradicting himself with every turn of the page.
I wouldnt reccomend this to anyone. But Im determined to finish it or I may just throw it at a passing dog. A much better read is Dunkirk by Nicholas Harman who disputes much of the old Dunkirk myths but in a much more factual way. Telling the story and intrigue we all know of but concentrating much more on Britain looking after number one to France's immediate if not strategic disadvantage. One thing he states in the prologue which I found to be proved by the end of the book was his statement, The truth cannot hurt them now. A much better and more researched book than May's rubbish.
