This is a copy of the comment posted by Mr. Nelson on last month's "what are you reading"
This reply is addressed to the person who liked to read history books: My most recent reading included THE CROSSING OF THE SUEZ (1973) by Lt General EL Shazly, THE WAR OF ATONEMENT-Chiam Herzog (1973), Troublesome Young Men-Olson (about Churchill forcing Chamberlin out of office), The Coldest Winter-David Halberstan, and I am now reading PARTNERS IN COMMAND which is about Marshall & Eisenhower. The next book on my list is A SOLDER'S STORY- OMAR BRADLEY. There is a small group of ALPOA residents (4) who are just getting started in organizing a history book club so if anyone is interested please let me know.

Also, a finalist for the Natl. Book Awards/All Souls' Rising author, Madison Smartt Bell has written a delightful Charm City, a walk through Baltimore, another in the acclaimed Crown Journeys series. Enjoyable fun read. Reply to this
