Reviews and Comments

An absolutely fascinating history of the economics of Nazi Germany's war effort. Highly readable, it makes an excellent case which explains the rationale behind some of the decisions taken by Hitler and the basic economic issues that constrained the Nazi war effort and fed into such horrors as the Holocaust and the Hunger Plan. Fascinating and highly recommended.

Reasonable potted history of aircraft, with some interesting little details about each design. Best bit is the lovely cutaway diagrams, which are sadly lacking any list of components. This leaves identifying what each part is for up to educated guessing.

Fascinating and absorbing read, detailing the background and buildup to the war and the social and political changes thereafter. It's impact on the collective memory of each nation involved is shown, and the Russian signposts to the recent Crimean crisis are now all too obvious in hindsight.

Good short overview of the average landser's life on the eastern front during the years of constant retreat for the German Army. The descriptions of the small scale tactical actions in the varied terrain of the Eastern Front are very interesting, and show how much planning, effort, manpower and logistics go into even the smallest of unit actions.

An absolutely fascinating look at the source of road danger, and how the general approach to road safety is misguided. A must read for anyone interested in the areas of walkable cities, cycling and benign modes of transport. Written in 1993 and sadly still very relevant. Out of print, but available second hand or in PDF form from rdrf.org.uk/death-on-the-streets-cars-and-the-mythology-of-road-safety/

Colquhoun and Mills excel yet again in the third volume of Charley's War. Hard to believe such a hard hitting anti-war strip got printed in a boys comic at all.

A fun and entertaining future alternative history fantasy. Plenty of action, ending on a cliffhanger for part three. Very enjoyable, even though there are parts that jar with what we actually know of historical personalities, but it is a novel so roll with it!

A richly drawn noir spy thriller. Couldn't put it down.

Fascinating collection of both iconic images and the stories behind them. Perfect for dipping in and out of, reading about the photographers and their processes is worth it even if you wouldn't be a fan of a particular shot. Very enjoyable.

Poor, uninspired collection. Couple of passable tales, solid artwork in places but disappointing overall.

Important historically and politically, finally got around to reading it. a must read for anyone interested in political thought.

Very enjoyable read.
