Just a quick hit

Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying Dreadnoughts? A book by Robert K. Massie on the growing tensions before WWI. What I love about it is that there are no dry dissertations, instead he talks about the personalities that made up the rulers of England and Germany and the men like Jacky Fisher who revolutionised the Royal Navy and Otto von Bismarck.

Amazing stuff, and a definite read for any history fan.

I know this was not political, but I had to share the book.
