News about the Bloody White Baron
« on: June 12, 2008, 11:53:46 AM »
As it's a "must-read" for anybody into BoB, I post it here instead of "Latest book received":



This is a new title from 2008 which got very good reviews. Amazon price is 26,99 EUR, but I've got it (through Amazon) from a UK-bookseller for just 15,82 plus 3,00 EUR p&p; of course the new book still shrinkwrapped, not a second-hand.

Will start reading as soon as I've finished my Ossendowski ...  ;D

that is a great one, got my copy four weeks ago, but with different cover, your one looks like a comic book title  :)

I looked for it after the Prof mentioned it, but apparently it is not out in the US yet.

Reading up on the Indian Army currently, but this one is definitely on my next 10 books to read list.

No problem. I had a hard time finding him and I knew he was there somewhere. I was sure he'd be under "Adventurers"!

Thanks to all of you. I've ordered my copy from Amazons UK. Currently reading "The Path of Valour" by Semyon Budyonny.
Best wishes,
Helen

I am in the middle of this one now. A bloody good read. Also a fast read, which is a plus. Russians are nutters. ;)

Bought mine in the local (and very provincial) bookshop sometime before Christmas.Very good,and yes a fast read. I now bang on about Mongolian Buddhism (the descriptions of a Buddhist temple are very creepy,almost CoC) as if I actually knew something about it. :)
